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.

Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.
Dropcurb does not remove TVs from walls or do indoor carrying. Arrange the help you need before pickup day, including the trip down interior stairs or through an elevator.

Choose a permitted outdoor spot.
Use a stable, accessible location with a clear path for loading. Keep the TV separate from anything staying. Check building rules before placing it in a shared pickup area.

Televisions and other electronics do not appear in the city's bulk item rule, and Henry County routes them away from the landfill instead. The county names televisions and monitors among its hard-to-recycle items and sends them to CHaRM, which charges per television or monitor and takes most other electronics, including computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones, microwaves, coffee makers, cables and chargers, at no fee.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the county publishes a curbside electronics route. Henry County tells residents to ask CHaRM about applicable fees, and CHaRM charges per television or monitor with no fee listed for other electronics, so confirm the item and the appointment with CHaRM at 404-600-6386 before loading the car.
When & how
CHaRM takes electronics by appointment only, with Atlanta hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no published city electronics collection day, so the appointment is the scheduling step rather than the curbside day.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, laptops, tablets and phones before handover. Remove and tape the ends of removable batteries, and keep alkaline and car batteries out of the load entirely, because CHaRM refuses both. Keep the device out of the carts, because the city hauler services only the two supplied carts.
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 McDonough Public Works with Republic Services, and Henry County for hard-to-recycle items
Use the county hard-to-recycle route to CHaRM
A household with a television or monitor, a large appliance, a mattress, tires, paint or household chemicals that the curbside route does not cover.
Cost & conditions
Henry County lists the items and tells residents to ask CHaRM about applicable fees, and CHaRM publishes its own per item schedule rather than a single price, so confirm the exact item and fee with CHaRM at 404-600-6386 before booking.
Arrange it
Book an appointment with CHaRM, sort and separate the load before arrival, and pay by Venmo, credit card, debit card or Apple Pay, because the site does not accept cash. The county hard-to-recycle page lists what goes to CHaRM and what goes to the Lifecycle Building Center or to a vehicle donation programme.
The county sends paint, household chemicals, tires, televisions and monitors, mattresses, propane tanks, thermometers, smoke detectors, bulbs, CFL bulbs and toilets to CHaRM, but CHaRM refuses some of what the county lists, including propane tanks and alkaline and car batteries, so the item has to be checked against the CHaRM list before the trip.

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