A day to get it gone.

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.

Electronics are not part of the curbside rules, and the city points to two named recyclers instead: the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council, which takes computers, phones, networking gear and LCD monitors only and charges for televisions, copiers and printers, and Atlas Electronics Recycling, which the city says offers free residential pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The pricing differs by route and by item. CACRC publishes a 10 dollar fee for a small printer and 25 dollars for a large printer, and states that fees apply to copiers and televisions, while the city describes Atlas Electronics Recycling as offering free residential pickup. Confirm the item and the price with CACRC on (225) 379-3577 or Atlas on (225) 800-2750 before handing anything over.
When & how
Take accepted electronics to CACRC at 1400 Main Street, open Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or book a residential pickup with Atlas. The city's semi-annual household hazardous material days also take batteries and cell phones.
Get it ready
Wipe data before handover, keep household batteries out of the electronics because CACRC refuses them, keep CRTs out because CACRC does not take them, and count a television separately because it is one of the items CACRC charges for.
Hazardous waste, electronics and paint have their own routes
Household hazardous waste is barred from the carts and from the curb, and the city answers it with several published routes rather than one. It holds semi-annual spring and fall household hazardous material collection days, with business waste refused and the Fall 2026 date and location still to be announced. Electronics go to the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council at 1400 Main Street, which takes computers, phones, networking gear and LCD monitors only, charges for televisions, copiers and printers and refuses CRTs, or to Atlas Electronics Recycling, which the city says offers free residential pickup. Batteries and cell phones can go to a Call2Recycle drop-off or to a collection day. Paint is split by condition: empty or dried latex cans go in the trash, a can less than half full is opened and mixed with kitty litter to dry, cans more than half full wait for a collection day or go to a Habitat ReStore, which accepts full or partially full cans of latex paint or stain and full cans of oil paint year round. Recyclables can also be dropped at the Materials Recovery Facility on 7923 Tom Drive, which is open to the public around the clock and does not require sorting.
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.

Call Atlas on (225) 800-2750 or email the address the city publishes, and arrange the residential pickup.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Baton Rouge.
How much does TV removal cost in Baton Rouge?+
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 Baton Rouge?+
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 do televisions and computers go in Baton Rouge?+
To the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council at 1400 Main Street, or to Atlas Electronics Recycling, which the city says offers free residential pickup. CACRC takes computers, laptops, tablets, phones, networking equipment, circuit boards and LCD monitors only, publishes a 10 dollar fee for small printers and 25 dollars for large ones, and states that fees apply to copiers and televisions. Household batteries, appliances, bulbs and CRTs are not accepted there.Official guidance
What cannot be recycled with electronics?+
CRTs, household batteries, appliances and furniture, light bulbs of any kind, media such as tapes and discs, DVD and CD players and VCRs, MP3 players, cameras and video recorders, stereo equipment, speakers, ballasts, and toner and ink jet cartridges are all refused by the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council. LCD monitors are accepted while CRTs are not, and a television is one of the items the organisation charges a fee for.Official guidance
