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.

Illinois law keeps electronics out of the landfill stream, so a television or computer needs one of the published routes: a curbside electronic pickup booked with Groot, or a SWANCC one-day electronics event open to member community residents.
City cost & eligibility
The village page and the operator's page disagree on the price of a curbside electronic pickup. The village states that residents may have up to two electronic items picked up from the curb each week for no additional fee, while the operator states that curbside electronics collection comes for an additional fee. Confirm with Groot on 847-734-6400 which applies at the address before the device goes out.
When & how
Book the curbside pickup with Groot, or check the SWANCC calendar for a one-day electronics event, which the agency runs from April through October at member community sites.
Get it ready
Wipe the data before a computer, phone or tablet leaves the house, keep batteries out of the electronics pile because batteries have their own village counter drop-off, and keep the device whole rather than breaking it down for the cart.
Everything else has a published counter, event or pickup
Materials the cart service cannot take are handled through named programs rather than guesswork. Electronics cannot go into the landfill stream under Illinois law, so the village publishes a curbside electronic pickup booked with Groot and SWANCC runs one-day electronics and document destruction events for member community residents from April through October. Paint goes to a year-round PaintCare site at no charge, though PaintCare does not take aerosols, or to the village's own appointment-only latex paint event at the Public Works Building on 222 N. Ridge Ave. Household chemicals go to a free Illinois EPA one-day collection that needs pre-registration, or to SWANCC's at-home pickup, which serves Arlington Heights for a published fee paid in advance to Clean Harbors. Rechargeable batteries up to 12 pounds, cell phones, compact fluorescent lights, eyeglasses, ink cartridges, holiday lights and plastic bags are taken at the counter drop-offs the village lists, and used tires go back to a retailer in exchange for new tires bought.
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.

Book a curbside electronic pickup with Groot
A household with a television, monitor, computer, printer, console or other covered electronic device.
Cost & conditions
The village states that residents may have up to two electronic items picked up from the curb each week for no additional fee, while the operator's own page states that a curbside electronic collection comes for an additional fee.

Arrange it
Call Groot on 1-800-734-6400 to schedule the curbside electronic collection, and follow the instructions it gives for where the device should sit on the collection day.
Illinois law prohibits putting electronics into the landfill stream, so this is a scheduled service rather than a cart item, and the two published pages disagree on the price.
A resident of a SWANCC member community, which includes Arlington Heights, with electronics or documents to clear in a single trip.
Cost & conditions
The agency publishes the one-day electronics recycling and document destruction events for member community residents from April through October but does not publish a fee on the event page, so confirm the date, the hours, the accepted items and any limits on the SWANCC calendar before loading a vehicle.
Arrange it
Check the SWANCC calendar for the next event, then take the material to the listed site during its published window.
Events are seasonal, run only from April through October, are open to member community residents rather than to businesses or institutions, and can be cancelled or closed early for weather.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Arlington Heights.
How much does TV removal cost in Arlington Heights?+
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 Arlington Heights?+
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 I take a TV or computer in Arlington Heights?+
Call Groot on 1-800-734-6400 to book a curbside electronic pickup, because Illinois law prohibits mixing electronics with regular landfill waste and the village publishes an at-the-curb electronic collection of up to two items a week. SWANCC also runs one-day electronics recycling events for member community residents from April through October, with dates on the agency calendar.Official guidance
Is there a fee for electronics pickup in Arlington Heights?+
The two published pages disagree, so it has to be confirmed with Groot on 1-800-734-6400. The village states that residents may have up to two electronic items picked up from the curb each week for no additional fee, while the operator's own Arlington Heights page states that curbside electronics collection comes for an additional fee.Official guidance
