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.

Electronic waste is collected at the city's monthly household hazardous waste collection at the Corporation Yard, and the blue can rules state plainly that computer monitors and television sets are never accepted in a curbside container.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the city's monthly household hazardous waste collection, which names electronic waste among the accepted items and is open the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon.
When & how
Third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. at 555 N. Prospect Street. It is the only published electronic waste window in the city, and the recycling drop-off center takes blue can recyclables rather than e-waste.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, phones and tablets before the drop-off, keep the devices out of all three carts, and bring them during the monthly window. Household batteries and fluorescent lamps are collected at the same event.
One monthly window for hazardous and electronic waste
The household hazardous waste collection and the mattress recycling site both operate on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon at the Corporation Yard, 555 N. Prospect Street. Electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paints, household batteries and fluorescent lamps are taken at the event, and it is the only published drop-off window for them.
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.
Monthly household hazardous waste and electronic waste collection
A household with electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paint, household batteries or fluorescent lamps that the carts refuse.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free at the city's monthly collection for residents, with the accepted list published on the city page and the information line at (559) 782-7514.
Arrange it
Bring the material to the Corporation Yard at 555 N. Prospect Street on the third Saturday of the month between 8 a.m. and noon.
One window a month only, at one address, and it is the only published route for electronic waste and the household chemicals on the list. Large appliances and furniture are not named at this event.
Self haul in Porterville means the two city drop-offs at the Corporation Yard on North Prospect Street. The recycling drop-off center there is open around the clock for residential recyclables that match the blue can programme, and it refuses commercial loads. On the third Saturday of each month between 8 a.m. and noon the same yard hosts the household hazardous waste collection, which takes electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paints, household batteries and fluorescent lamps, and alongside it the free mattress and box spring site run with the Mattress Recycling Council for Porterville and Tulare County residents. Nothing else has a published city drop-off: the carts refuse large appliances, furniture and construction debris, and the city publishes no curbside bulky pickup, so confirm the current option with the Refuse Division at 782-7513 or arrange a private hauler before moving a large item.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Porterville.
How much does TV removal cost in Porterville?+
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 Porterville?+
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 Porterville?+
To the city's household hazardous waste collection on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon at the Corporation Yard, 555 N. Prospect Street. Electronic waste is on the accepted list there, and the blue can rules say computer monitors and television sets are never accepted in curbside containers, so the monthly event is the published route.Official guidance
Can I put a television in the recycling cart?+
No. The city's blue can page lists computer monitors and television sets with the hazardous waste that is never accepted in curbside containers, along with batteries, fluorescent tubes, paint, solvents and used oil. Those items go to the monthly collection event instead.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Porterville?+
The city collects it. The Public Works Field Services Division runs the refuse routes and the recycling programmes, and the Refuse Division answers collection questions at 782-7513. Residential refuse is billed on the city utility account at the rate the finance department publishes for the current year.Official guidance
