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.

County household hazardous waste and electronics drop off
Alachua County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center
5125 NE 63rd Ave., Gainesville, FL 32609
Household hazardous waste and electronics from residents, and the city notes that drop off is free for Gainesville and Alachua County residents and that the five rural collection centers also take electronics, while neighbouring county residents use Toxic Round-Up events.
Only very small quantity generator businesses pay for disposal, and those businesses have to comply with county code, the Florida Administrative Code and the federal hazardous waste rules. The city reminds residents never to put hazardous waste in the trash, out at the curb or down a drain or storm sewer, and that landfilling motor oil, car batteries, nickel cadmium batteries, fluorescent bulbs, mercury, medical waste, liquid waste, tires, white goods and yard waste is banned in Florida.
Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The county can be reached at 352-334-0440.
No charge. Only very small quantity generator businesses pay a fee, so a household using the center is not charged under the published rules, and the county also lets Alachua County residents use the five rural collection centers.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gainesville.
How much does TV removal cost in Gainesville?+
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 Gainesville?+
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.
