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.

North Port treats televisions, printers and computer monitors as garbage rather than electronic waste. A unit that fits in the garbage tote goes out with the weekly collection, and one that does not fit is scheduled as a bulk pickup.
City cost & eligibility
A unit that fits in the tote carries no separate charge with the weekly collection, while one that does not fit is scheduled as a bulk pickup, where the first two pickups each fiscal year are free and additional pickups are charged per cubic yard. Confirm the right route with Public Works at 941-240-8050.
When & how
Use the weekly garbage collection if the unit fits in the tote with the lid closed. Otherwise schedule a bulk pickup through the city's request form or by calling Public Works at 941-240-8050.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and keep the unit out of the recycling totes. Set a bulky unit out no earlier than 48 hours before the scheduled pickup and by 7 a.m. on collection day.
Bulk covers anything that does not fit in the garbage tote with the lid closed, exceeds the container's 200 pound limit or does not meet the yard waste guidelines, and the city names appliances, televisions, furniture and mattresses as examples.
City cost & eligibility
From $19.97 per cubic yard beyond the two free residential bulk pickups each fiscal year, plus a fixed $19.97 administrative fee for each additional pickup. City of North Port residential curbside service. The first two bulk pickups each fiscal year, October 1 to September 30, are free with a limit of 5 cubic yards each, or one free pickup of up to 10 cubic yards. Estimates are available when the size of a load is unclear.
When & how
Schedule ahead with the city's request form, then set the load out on your normal collection day. Bulk placed in the right of way without a request is still collected but may draw a fee, and a yard waste bulk pickup counts as one of the two free pickups.
Get it ready
Set the load out no earlier than 48 hours before the scheduled day and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. Keep yard waste separated from garbage and bulk, do not use personal containers, and keep the material clear of wires, low branches, poles and mailboxes.
Schedule the bulk pickup before anything goes to the right of way
Bulk pickups must be scheduled ahead with the city's request form, and a request that arrives after hours, on a weekend or on a holiday is not received until the next business day. Once the pickup is scheduled, the items go out no earlier than 48 hours before the appointment and by 7 a.m. on the collection day. Bulk placed in the right of way without a request is still collected but may draw a fee, and material set out early can draw a Code Enforcement violation notice.
Tote placement, arrows to the street and a five foot clear zone
Place the city-issued tote at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day and never before 6 p.m. the night before, with the arrows facing the street and the container three to seven feet from the street edge. Leave five feet clear of cars, fences, mailboxes, utility poles and trees, bring the tote back to storage by 10 p.m. on collection day, and keep the automated container out of the middle of the bulk pile or it will not be emptied.
Yard waste is collected once a week on the same day as garbage and recycling, but it is not part of the one-side-of-the-street rule, so it stays in front of the home at least five feet from the automated garbage tote. Bundle it, bag it in paper lawn bags or use a city yard waste tote, keep each bundle under 35 pounds, and cut branches to four feet. Mulch, sod, dirt, rocks, treated wood, lot clearing material and fruit are not accepted as yard waste.
Fluorescent bulbs, pesticides, pool chemicals, automotive products, paint and paint solvents, cleaning chemicals, sharps, unused medications, adhesives, fertilizers, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, propane cylinders and tires stay out of the garbage and the recycling totes. The city runs two household hazardous waste collection events each year, in Spring and Fall at the Public Works facility on W. Price Blvd, and county residents can also use a chemical collection centre.
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 North Port.
How much does TV removal cost in North Port?+
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 North Port?+
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.
Do televisions count as electronic waste in North Port?+
No. North Port lists computer towers, laptops and tablets as electronic waste, and states that televisions, printers and computer monitors are considered garbage.
