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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Old boxy televisions and monitors are banned from Massachusetts disposal and the household hazardous waste days refuse electronics, so a device goes to a retailer collection or to the city Recycling Center instead.
City cost & eligibility
No electronics charge is published in the readable sources and the district refuses electronics at its drop-off days, so call the Department of Facilities and Fleet Management at (508) 979-1520 to confirm where the device goes and what it costs.
When & how
Take the television, monitor or computer to a retailer collection or to the city Recycling Center at 1103 Shawmut Avenue, and call (508) 979-1520 first to confirm the accepted devices and the hours.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before handover, keep electronics out of both carts, and keep batteries and fluorescent bulbs separate from the device because the district refuses those at its drop-off days as well.
Recyclable paper, cardboard, bottles, cans, jugs and jars are banned from the trash, and leaves, grass, mattresses, clothing, cathode ray tubes such as old boxy televisions and monitors, and whole tires are banned from the landfill, so those items need a route other than a cart.
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 New Bedford Department of Facilities and Fleet Management with Capitol Waste Services
Use a district drop-off day
A New Bedford household with paint, thinner, pesticides, old gasoline, wood preservatives or aerosols containing product.

Arrange it
Sign up for a time slot and bring the material to the Crapo Hill Landfill at 300 Samuel Barnet Blvd in New Bedford, with proof of residency and a load no larger than 25 gallons or 50 pounds.
The days run twice a year in the spring and fall, and the district refuses ammunition, antifreeze, asbestos, batteries, electronics, empty containers, fire extinguishers, fluorescent bulbs and mercury devices, latex paint, motor oil, propane tanks, smoke detectors, tires and televisions or computer monitors.
Material the city diverts from the trash, with unpackaged food waste named as a Recycling Center program for New Bedford residents only and the district sending refused electronics, including televisions and computer monitors, to the transfer station or recycling center.
The city page that lists the accepted items, hours and any charge is not readable from this environment, so confirm the accepted devices and the current terms with the Department of Facilities and Fleet Management at (508) 979-1520 before hauling a load.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in New Bedford.
How much does TV removal cost in New Bedford?+
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 New Bedford?+
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 New Bedford?+
Not in the carts and not to the household hazardous waste drop-off day, which refuses electronics and directs residents to a retailer or to the transfer station or recycling center. The district names the city Recycling Center at 1103 Shawmut Avenue as the place New Bedford residents divert material from the trash, and cathode ray tubes such as old boxy televisions and monitors are banned from Massachusetts disposal, so call (508) 979-1520 to confirm the accepted devices and hours.Official guidance
