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.

Televisions, computers, monitors, microwaves, copiers, fax machines and stereos are collected at the curb for residential accounts, and Orange County residents can also drop electronics free at a household hazardous waste center.
City cost & eligibility
Electronics ride the same curbside pickup allowance as other bulky items, which the City page and the rate schedule describe differently, so confirm whether the pickup is free and how many items it covers when you book with Republic Services at (714) 238-3300. The county household hazardous waste centers take electronic waste free instead, and the closest one to Placentia is the Anaheim center.
When & how
Book a curbside pickup at (714) 238-3300, or take the material to a county household hazardous waste center between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep batteries and electronic waste out of all three carts, because batteries are a leading cause of fires in the waste system and cannot go to a landfill. Clear personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the property, and expect a per trip transportation limit at the county center.
A bulky pickup is booked, and the items go to the curb
Call Republic Services at (714) 238-3300 to book the pickup, then put the items at the curb, because the published note for the bulk program is that items must be placed at curbside. Confirm the free pickup count and the item allowance when you book, since the City page and the rate schedule give different counts.
Paint, solvents, cleaners, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, pesticides, pool supplies, thermostats and expired medicine cannot go in any cart or on a bulky pile. The closest county household hazardous waste center to Placentia is the Anaheim center at 1071 N. Blue Gum Street, which is free for Orange County residents and open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
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.
