A day to get it gone.
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date shown at checkout. Arrange to have the TV outside before pickup.
You’ll know when it’s gone.
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.

Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

Electronics are accepted on the free curbside bulky collection, where the programme names microwaves, televisions, monitors and computers, and the city also lists three local drop-offs, including a Best Buy that takes nearly all electronics and large appliances at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronics are accepted as items on the two free curbside bulky collections each Gilroy household gets per calendar year, Best Buy at 7011 Camino Arroyo takes nearly all electronics and large appliances at no charge, and the Santa Clara County household hazardous waste programme is free to city residents by appointment.
When & how
Book the curbside collection at 408.842.3358, take the device to one of the listed drop-offs, or book a county hazardous waste appointment at 408-299-7300. The local drop-offs are Martin Recycling at 6310 Automall Parkway, Best Buy at 7011 Camino Arroyo and Metech International at 6200 Engel Way, and the city recommends calling each one about hours and restrictions before travelling.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the screen whole, and keep electronics out of the garbage and the organics cart because California law makes most consumer electronics, batteries and mercury-containing products illegal to throw away. Alkaline household batteries are the exception that can be bagged and set on top of or beside the recycle bin at the curb, while every other battery goes to the county hazardous waste programme.
Each free bulky collection is bags or items, never a mix
Book the collection at 408.842.3358 and choose one option. Option one is up to twelve 32-gallon bags of garbage, all bagged, boxed or bundled with nothing loose, which is about two cubic yards or a pile three feet by six feet by three feet. Option two is two items such as appliances, furniture or electronic waste, with a mattress and box spring set counting as one item, and each item has to be under six feet long, under 200 pounds and manageable by one person.
Curbside by 6 a.m. and cancel a day ahead or lose the pickup
Bulky items have to be at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, and a household that is not out before the truck arrives forfeits that free collection. A cancellation has to reach customer service at least one business day before the appointment, unused collections do not roll over into the next calendar year, the account must be current rather than past due, and the programme covers residential customers inside the city of Gilroy, with multi-family properties arranging collections through the owner or manager.
Alkaline batteries ride the recycling cart, everything else does not
Alkaline household batteries can be sealed in a zip-top bag and left on top of or beside the recycling cart at the curb. Every other battery, along with fluorescent tubes, mercury thermostats and thermometers, and the electronics that California law bars from the trash, goes to the Santa Clara County household hazardous waste programme instead, which is appointment-only and free for city residents at 408-299-7300.
The county hazardous waste programme has its own limits
Appointments are required for every household hazardous waste drop-off, and the county programme will not accept hazardous waste in containers larger than five gallons, nor radioactive waste, ammunition or explosives. The city's own pages are the place to start for what is hazardous in the first place: paint, pesticides, cleaners, fuels, batteries, bulbs and electronics are all in that category.
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.

Arrange it
Call Recology South Valley at 408.842.3358, choose the bags option or the two-item option and set everything at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day.

Local electronics drop-offs, including a no-charge retailer
A household with a television, monitor, computer or other electronic device that would rather drop it off than wait for a collection day.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Best Buy at 7011 Camino Arroyo is published by the city as accepting nearly all electronics and large appliances at no charge, with exceptions possible; Martin Recycling and Metech International are listed as local drop-offs as well.
Arrange it
Take the device to Best Buy at 7011 Camino Arroyo, Martin Recycling at 6310 Automall Parkway or Metech International at 6200 Engel Way, and call ahead because the city recommends checking each location's hours and restrictions.
Retailer terms and exceptions apply, Metech can be reached at 408-848-3050 extension 12 for its rules, and the county household hazardous waste programme remains the route for batteries, bulbs and other universal waste rather than the electronics drop-offs.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gilroy.
How much does TV removal cost in Gilroy?+
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 Gilroy?+
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 Gilroy televisions and computers go?+
A television, monitor or computer can go out as one of the two items on a free curbside bulky collection, booked at 408.842.3358. Otherwise the city lists Martin Recycling at 6310 Automall Parkway, Best Buy at 7011 Camino Arroyo, which takes nearly all electronics and large appliances at no charge, and Metech International at 6200 Engel Way, and the county household hazardous waste programme takes electronics free by appointment at 408-299-7300.Official guidance

Where do Gilroy batteries and light bulbs go?+
