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 on the hauler's accepted bulky item list, so a television, monitor or computer leaves on a scheduled pickup inside the ten free items a month. Los Angeles County also takes household hazardous waste and electronic waste free at its collection events and permanent centers inside a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. E-waste counts inside the ten free bulky items a month for residential customers and multi-family tenants, and the county program takes household electronic waste free from county residents within the per-trip limit.
When & how
Add the device to a scheduled pickup at (562) 334-3660, or take it to a county collection event, most of which run on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or to a county permanent center.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before the device leaves the house, list each electronic item when the pickup is scheduled, and pack anything bound for a county event in a cardboard box with the resident staying in the vehicle while staff unload.
Bulky material is only collected on a scheduled pickup, so the request goes to Universal Waste Systems by phone, email or the website with a list of the items. Once the collection date is confirmed, the items go on the sidewalk or parkway of the property rather than into the street, and the crew counts each piece against the monthly allowance.
The quarterly household hazardous waste pickup requires the material to be boxed and left on the porch rather than at the curb, and the hauler also supplies four mail-in sharps containers per account each year. Other households use the Los Angeles County collection events, where the material travels in cardboard boxes in the trunk and the resident stays in the vehicle while staff unload, inside a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Gate.
How much does TV removal cost in South Gate?+
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 South Gate?+
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 can a South Gate household take a television?+
Electronic waste is on the hauler's accepted bulky item list, so a television, monitor or computer can go out on a scheduled pickup at (562) 334-3660 inside the ten free items allowed each month. Los Angeles County also accepts household electronic waste free at its collection events and permanent centers, most events running on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., within a 15 gallon or 125 pound trip limit.Official guidance
How does the South Gate bulky item program work?+

Where do South Gate residents take paint, batteries and other chemicals?+
