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 and batteries are barred from the trash and recycling carts, and El Cajon residents can take household hazardous waste items such as CRTs to the hauler's appointment-only drop-off in the city, free of charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. El Cajon residents may drop household hazardous waste items, including electronic waste such as CRTs, free of charge at 950 O'Connor Street in El Cajon by appointment only on Saturdays. The county also runs a hazardous waste line at 877-R-1-EARTH, and the hauler holds one free hazardous waste event a year.
When & how
Book the Saturday appointment on the EDCO site, by email at lmhhw@edcodisposal.com or by phone at (619) 287-5696 extension 4270.
Get it ready
Never put a television, computer, monitor or battery in a trash or recycling cart, because the hauler states that batteries and electronic waste must always be recycled or taken to a hazardous waste facility or event. Keep the device whole and ask about the accepted list when the appointment is booked, since the current bulky page names televisions as a bulky example while the resource guide excludes electronics from that route.
Recyclables, organics, hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste and needles, and automobile parts including motor oil, oil filters, batteries and tires are all kept out of the trash cart. Batteries and electronic waste must never go in a trash or recycling cart at all, and they go to the hazardous waste appointment instead.
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.

A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in El Cajon.
How much does TV removal cost in El Cajon?+
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 El Cajon?+
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.
