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.

Electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and Connecticut law also requires the town to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers without charging a fee for those four categories.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An electronic item can ride the free bulky allowance of two pickups per unit a year with five items or fewer, and the MDC packet records that towns cannot charge a fee for recycling computers, televisions, monitors and printers although they may charge for other electronics. Retail and recycler options are also available at their own terms.
When & how
Schedule a bulky pickup with Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, or use a town or retail electronics program, which includes Green Monster e-cycling at 150 Brook Street in West Hartford on 860-231-1426, Staples for computers, monitors, laptops, printers, faxes and all in ones, and Best Buy with a limit of three items per day.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the recycling and trash bins unless a local program says otherwise, and note that the Metropolitan District's hazardous waste collections do not take electronics at all, so a television or computer has to use the bulky route, the town program or a retailer. Wipe personal data before a computer leaves your hands.
Schedule the bulky pickup before anything goes to the curb
Bulky items have to be scheduled first through Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, with the item list given on the call. The pile goes out after 4 p.m. the night before the appointment or before 7 a.m. on the collection date, stays out of roadways and off sidewalks, and holds no more than five items. Setting bulk items out without a scheduled pickup carries a 99.00 fine.
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.
City of Hartford Department of Public Works Waste and Recycling Division, with the Metropolitan District running household hazardous waste collections
Schedule a city bulky waste collection
A one to six unit non commercial property with appliances, electronics, tires, furniture, mattresses, small bundles of branches or other large items to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Two free pickups per unit a year, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property, so a one family home has two free pickups and a six family home twelve. An extra collection beyond the allowance costs 75.00, a 10.00 permit covers up to four transfer station visits, and an unscheduled curbside pile carries a 99.00 fine.
Arrange it
Call Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, give the item list, take the next available collection date, and put the items out after 4 p.m. the night before or before 7 a.m. on that date.
Five items per collection and only the items listed on the call, so an unlisted item is left behind. Hazardous and toxic material is not bulky waste, a commercial property, apartment complex or building over six units is not eligible, and a refrigerant appliance needs a confirmation first.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hartford.
How much does TV removal cost in Hartford?+
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 Hartford?+
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 Hartford?+
They can go on a scheduled Hartford bulky pickup, because electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and they can also go through the town electronics program or a retailer such as Staples or Best Buy. Connecticut law requires towns to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers and forbids a fee for those four categories, and the MDC hazardous waste collections do not take electronics at all.Official guidance
Is there an electronics recycler near Hartford?+
The MDC information packet names Green Monster e-cycling at 150 Brook Street in West Hartford on 860-231-1426, manufacturer take back programs, Staples, which takes computers, monitors, laptops, printers, faxes and all in ones, and Best Buy, which accepts many types of electronics but only three items per day.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Hartford?+
The city's Department of Public Works Waste and Recycling Division, for single family homes, multifamily buildings of six units or less and condo associations of six units or less. Hartford 311 answers service questions at 860-757-9311 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and bulky collections are scheduled through 311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983.Official guidance
What does a bulky waste pickup cost in Hartford?+
Two pickups per unit a calendar year are free, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property, so a two family home gets four free pickups and a six family home gets twelve. Beyond that, an additional collection costs 75.00, a 10.00 permit covers up to four transfer station visits, and an unscheduled curbside pile carries a 99.00 fine.Official guidance
Where do paint and chemicals go in Hartford?+
To a Metropolitan District household hazardous waste collection, which Hartford residents may attend in any participating town. Hartford's own collection is Saturday, October 24, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the MDC Operations Facility, 125 Maxim Road, and the regional schedule runs Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through the year with one Sunday collection on May 17, 2026. Identification is checked and the driver stays in the vehicle while the contractor unloads.Official guidance
Where do electronics go in Hartford?+
Electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, so a television or computer can go on a scheduled bulky pickup inside the free allowance, and Connecticut law requires towns to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers without a fee for those four categories. The MDC packet also lists Green Monster e-cycling in West Hartford, Staples and Best Buy, while the hazardous waste collections take no electronics at all.Official guidance
What happens to leaves and yard waste?+
The city runs a Leaf Collection Program so residents can dispose of fallen leaves before the first heavy snowfall, following the zone schedule posted with the program, and it publishes a summer yard collection sheet as well. Small bundles of tree branches are also named as bulky waste, so branches can go on a scheduled bulky pickup.Official guidance
What if I live in a building with more than six units?+
The city does not collect from commercial property, an apartment complex or a multifamily building with more than six units, and those properties are told to contact their management company or landlord. The bulky waste allowance is written for one to six unit non commercial properties, so a larger building has to arrange disposal privately.Official guidance
