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.

Televisions and computer monitors are priced on the city bulk item list, so Lawrence treats a screen as a collection item with a published rate instead of turning it away. A copy machine also appears on the same list, and the annual hazardous waste day is the second route for electronics.
City cost & eligibility
$40 per television or computer monitor on the city bulk item list, which also prices a copy machine at $25. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718; the annual hazardous waste day also takes laptops, monitors, televisions, computer towers, printers, fax machines, scanners and stereos at its own published fees.
When & how
Schedule with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or online for collection on the address's trash and recycling day, or hold the device for the hazardous waste day at the Department of Public Works yard on the second and fourth Saturday from May to October.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover. Keep electronics out of the 65-gallon container, out of the recycling bin and off the bulk pile until the pickup is scheduled, because bulky items are excluded from the single stream recycling bin.
Bulk items ride the same day as trash and recycling, but only by appointment
Bulk items such as furniture and mattresses are collected on the same day as the trash and recycling pickup for the address, and scheduling runs through Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or the online booking page. The city's agreement with the hauler makes a number of smaller items free, limited to one per household per week, and prices everything else on the published list, with each additional item priced as well.
The city runs in five sections, so the pickup day depends on the address
Lawrence divides the city into five sections and services each on a different day of the week, so the collection day is a section day rather than one citywide day. The same section day carries the bulk item collection, which is why a scheduled large item and the ordinary bags land on one morning rather than two. Pickup times are not published, so the material has to be out before the round reaches the street.
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 priced bulk item pickup with the city hauler
A household inside the curbside service area with a couch, an appliance, a television, an exercise machine, a small remodel load or a stack of clutter.
Cost & conditions
From $25 for the standard per item price on the city bulk item list, which runs from $25 for most items through $35 for a sleeper sofa, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher or water heater and $40 for a refrigerator, freezer, television or computer monitor to $45 for an air conditioner, dehumidifier or truck tire, with construction material at $50 per yard and a free category of smaller items limited to one per household per week. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or through the online booking page.
Arrange it
Call Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or book the pickup online, and the collection lands on the same day as the trash and recycling day for the address. Check the price for each piece on the bulk item list before the pickup, because the total is built item by item.
The service reaches residential buildings with six or fewer units, so businesses, mixed-use properties and buildings with seven or more units arrange private pickup. The free category is limited to one item per household per week, each additional item is priced at $25, and bulky items cannot go in the single stream recycling bin.

Use the hazardous waste recycling day at the Department of Public Works yard
A Lawrence household with paint, chemicals, bulbs, batteries, propane tanks, electronics, oil or antifreeze that cannot go in the trash.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the programme and the card only payment rule but no fee schedule on the page body, so confirm the item and any charge for it before loading. Payment must be made by debit or credit card only.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Department of Public Works yard at 1 Auburn Street between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on the second or fourth Saturday of the month, from May to October only. Unscheduled visits outside those hours are prohibited, and proof of residency is required.
The programme is closed to businesses, and each person taking part needs proof of residency. Latex paint is refused and has to be dried out and put in the regular trash instead. The city publishes the accepted item list on the programme flyer rather than in text, so the item should be checked against that list before the trip.

Residents only, with proof of residency required for each person taking part, and businesses are not eligible. Unscheduled visits outside the published hours are prohibited. Payment must be made by debit or credit card only, and latex paint is refused, so paint should be left open to dry and then put out with the regular trash.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lawrence.
How much does TV removal cost in Lawrence?+
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 Lawrence?+
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 does a television go in Lawrence?+
A television and a computer monitor are both priced on the city bulk item list, so book a collection with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or schedule it online, and it is collected on the same day as the address's trash and recycling day. The annual hazardous waste day at the Department of Public Works yard also takes televisions, laptops, monitors, computer towers and printers during its May to October season.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Lawrence?+
Capitol Waste Services collects under a city contract. The city states that as of November 2022 it contracted with Capitol for residential solid waste, and that Capitol handles collection, hauling and disposal for all residential trash, recycling and yard waste under a multi-year agreement. Capitol can be reached on 1-844-377-1718, and the city Department of Public Works handles billing questions and the container programme on 978-620-3090.Official guidance
What stays out of the Lawrence recycling bin?+
Paper, newspaper, cardboard, plastic, clean food cans, aluminum cans and glass can all go in one bin, but the city asks residents to keep plastic bags, plastic wrap, food leftovers, pizza boxes, textiles, anything that tangles, styrofoam and bulky items out. Materials have to be raw and clean, and the city supplies a green Lawrence Recycles sticker for any barrel or bin used at home.Official guidance
