Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the job is done. With your TV outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home for pickup.
The TV’s type and size determine which item to choose. A new model and an old model can use the same option if their shape and screen size match.
Flat-screen TVs
Measure the screen diagonally, corner to corner, without the frame. Choose under 42 inches or 42 inches and larger. A TV measuring exactly 42 inches belongs to the larger option.
Tube TVs
An older tube or CRT television has curved glass and a deep, heavy body. Choose Tube TV even if its screen is small. A rear-projection TV is different; send a photo before booking so we can check the fit.
TV stands and other electronics
The TV price covers the television. Add a media console, computer monitor or other item separately if it is going too. Choose only what you want removed and review the combined price.

Electronic waste cannot go in a Downey barrel and is not part of the bulky item list, so a television or computer goes to the Los Angeles County household hazardous waste and e-waste network instead. County residents can use the free one-day drive-through events, most of them on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with no appointment, or a permanent S.A.F.E. Center on a weekend.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Los Angeles County residents at the county events and the permanent collection centers, with a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip; a S.A.F.E. Center requires the participant to give an address.
When & how
Check the county collection schedule for the next drive-through event, or use a permanent center such as the Washington Blvd S.A.F.E. Center on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Pack the device in a cardboard box, keep it in the trunk away from passengers, stay in the car at the event while staff unload it, and wipe personal data before handover. Business electronics are not accepted, and neither are white goods, tires or trash.
Barrels go to the curb the night before the service day or by 6 a.m. on the day itself. Athens observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and a holiday creates a one-day delay in collection, while a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday does not delay service. The black barrel is for landfill material, the blue for clean recyclables and the green for organics including untreated wood and food scraps.
State law prohibits hazardous material in the containers, and the city's guide also keeps bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste and automotive parts out of them. The published list includes automotive parts, batteries, cleaning products, construction and demolition waste, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, electronic waste, LED lights, medical waste, paints, solvents and thinners, pesticides and herbicides, pharmaceuticals, pool chemicals, radiological waste, syringes and sharps, thermometers, thermostats and used motor oil. Electronics and chemicals go to the county collection network, renovation material goes to a private facility under the city's diversion rules, and sharps and medication go to a listed sheriff station bin.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Downey.
How much does TV removal cost in Downey?+
A flat-screen TV under 42 inches is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Larger flat screens and tube TVs have their own prices. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Choose the type that matches your TV and review your total, including any applicable tax, before payment.
Can I get same-day TV pickup in Downey?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates offered at checkout and have the TV outside according to your confirmation. We text you when your hauler is on the way and provide photos when the pickup is done.
Will Dropcurb remove my TV from the wall or carry it downstairs?+
You arrange unmounting, disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb starts at an accessible outdoor location, where we load your TV and take it away. If you need help removing a mounted TV or moving a heavy tube TV outside, arrange that separately before your pickup day.
Do you pick up old tube or CRT televisions?+
Yes. Choose Tube TV for an older television with curved glass and a deep, heavy body. Its price is $249 as the first item and $249 as an additional item. A rear-projection television is a different item; send a photo before booking rather than choosing the tube-TV option.
Does my old TV have to work?+
Your TV does not need to turn on for removal. Choose its type and size and arrange to have it outside before pickup. A non-working TV and a TV with exposed broken glass are different situations; send a photo of unusual damage so we can confirm the plan before you book.
Where do televisions and computers go in Downey?+
To the Los Angeles County household hazardous waste and e-waste network, because electronics cannot go in a Downey barrel and are not on the city's bulky item list. County residents use the free one-day drive-through events, most on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with no appointment, or a permanent S.A.F.E. Center on a weekend, with a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.Official guidance
What will the county collection site refuse with a load of electronics?+
The county refuses electronic waste from a business, explosives, ammunition, marine flares, radioactive material, controlled substances, trash and tires, white goods such as refrigerators and stoves, and solar panels. A household can bring its own devices in a cardboard box, keep them in the trunk away from passengers, and stay in the car at the event while staff unload them.Official guidance
