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 TV can stay inside while you book. Before pickup, arrange to have it disconnected, taken down if mounted and moved to an accessible outdoor spot.
A pickup day is not an exact arrival appointment. If your building allows only a short loading window, contact us before booking to confirm a workable plan.
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.

Illinois state law requires televisions, stereos and computer equipment to be recycled, and Normal states plainly that those items will not be picked up curbside with bulky waste. They go instead to the town's self-service electronics recycling site at 1301 Warriner Street.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Self-service electronics recycling at 1301 Warriner Street is free for McLean County residents, and it is not available to businesses or to residents outside McLean County.
When & how
The self-service site is open in summer from May 4 to Labor Day, Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and in winter from Labor Day to May 3, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with the first Saturday of each month 8 a.m. to noon. The building is closed on Town holidays and leaving material outside posted hours is not allowed.
Get it ready
Drive past the main Public Works facility and follow the yellow signs to the electronics area, and bring help if the equipment is too heavy to handle alone because staff may not be available to unload. The site serves McLean County residents only and refuses material from businesses and from residents outside the county.
Bags of garbage stay in the Town cart, and landscape waste and brush go out in their own piles rather than in the bulky waste. Electronics are excluded by state law and go to the self-service drop-off on Warriner Street, and debris over 500 pounds or from contractor work needs a commercial container instead of a household pile.
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.
Town of Normal Public Works Department, Waste Removal Division
Self-service electronics recycling
A McLean County household with a television, computer, monitor, printer or similar device that cannot go out with bulky waste.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free for McLean County residents. The site does not accept material from businesses or from residents outside McLean County.
Arrange it
Drive to 1301 Warriner Street in Normal, past the main Public Works facility, and follow the yellow signs to the electronics area.

Self-hauling in Normal runs through the town's own Public Works yard. The self-service electronics recycling site at 1301 Warriner Street, past the main Public Works building and marked with yellow signs, takes televisions, computers, monitors, printers, scanners, receivers, video game consoles, phones and cables free from McLean County residents, and it refuses appliances, microwaves, dehumidifiers, alkaline batteries and light bulbs. Other household material has its own route: alkaline batteries go in the garbage cart or to a participating retailer, motor oil, antifreeze and used cooking oil go to Team Automotive on South Adelaide Street, compact fluorescent bulbs and tubes go to Echo Electric in Bloomington, and paint and household hazardous waste go through the Ecology Action Center and the PaintCare programme.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Normal.
How much does TV removal cost in Normal?+
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 Normal?+
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.
Can a television go out with bulky waste in Normal?+
No. Illinois law requires televisions, stereos and computer equipment to be recycled, and Normal states that electronics will not be picked up curbside with bulky waste. Take them to the town's self-service electronics recycling site at 1301 Warriner Street, which is free for McLean County residents.Official guidance
Is trash collected on holidays in Normal?+
Household garbage and recycling in Town carts are collected on every holiday except Christmas Day, and when Christmas falls on a weekday that day's collection moves to the next regular business day. Bulky waste, brush and landscape waste are the exceptions: they are not collected on holidays when town offices are closed and generally move to the next regular garbage day.Official guidance
Where do electronics, batteries and chemicals go?+
Televisions, computers and other consumer electronics go to the town's self-service recycling site at 1301 Warriner Street, which is free for McLean County residents. Alkaline batteries go in the household waste cart or to a participating retailer, motor oil, antifreeze and cooking oil go to Team Automotive on South Adelaide Street, compact fluorescent bulbs go to Echo Electric, and paint and other household hazardous waste go through the Ecology Action Center and the PaintCare programme.Official guidance
