A day to get it gone.

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.
Dropcurb does not remove TVs from walls or do indoor carrying. Arrange the help you need before pickup day, including the trip down interior stairs or through an elevator.

Choose a permitted outdoor spot.
Use a stable, accessible location with a clear path for loading. Keep the TV separate from anything staying. Check building rules before placing it in a shared pickup area.

Electronics are treated as household hazardous waste under state law, so they never go in the garbage bin in Lincoln. The city collects them free at the curb every Wednesday for items that carry both a circuit board and a plug, and the facility takes e-waste free every day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on both routes: the city's Wednesday electronic and universal waste pickup has no charge, and the Materials Recovery Facility states that e-waste is free for residents to drop off every day. Automotive fluids and used cooking oil are collected on the same city arrangement.
When & how
Call Public Works on (916) 434-2450 to book the Wednesday curbside collection, or take the items to the Materials Recovery Facility at 3195 Athens Avenue, open for disposal Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Get it ready
Check that the item has both a circuit board and a plug before booking the curbside pickup, because that is the test the city publishes for the Wednesday round. Wipe personal data before anything leaves the house, keep electronics out of the garbage can, and keep batteries and mercury containing items separate, since those are household hazardous waste too.
Two services need a call first. Electronic and universal waste is collected free at the curb on Wednesdays once Public Works is called on (916) 434-2450, for items that carry both a circuit board and a plug, and automotive fluids and used cooking oil ride the same arrangement. A household that would rather not haul its own refuse can apply to the city for a temporary 3-yard bin while holding an active utility account.
The facility charges most households by the cubic yard at the public scale houses and charges larger loads, dumping trailers and dump trucks by the ton. Clean separated recyclables such as cardboard and mixed paper are free, and household hazardous waste and e-waste are free for residents, while the same material mixed into refuse is charged as general refuse. Separate first and a trip can cost a fraction of a mixed load.
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.

Book the free Wednesday curbside electronics pickup
A Lincoln household with a television, monitor, computer or other electronic item that has both a circuit board and a plug.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free. The city collects electronic and universal waste at the curb every Wednesday for items containing both a circuit board and a plug, and automotive fluids and used cooking oil can be collected the same way.
Arrange it
Call Public Works on (916) 434-2450 to schedule the pickup, then put the items out as directed for the Wednesday round.
The published test is a circuit board and a plug together, so an item that does not meet it has to go to the Materials Recovery Facility instead, where e-waste is free for residents every day.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lincoln.
How much does TV removal cost in Lincoln?+
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 Lincoln?+
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 old televisions and computers go in Lincoln?+
Two ways, both free. Call Public Works on (916) 434-2450 and the city will collect electronic and universal waste at the curb on a Wednesday, for items that contain both a circuit board and a plug, and automotive fluids and used cooking oil go the same way. Or take the items to the Materials Recovery Facility at 3195 Athens Avenue in Lincoln, where e-waste is free for residents every day. Electronics are household hazardous waste under state law and never go in the garbage can.Official guidance
