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, monitors, computers and anything else with a cord are kept out of the recycling cart, and the route the city publishes for them is the DPW electronics drop-off held with Great Lakes Electronics rather than the weekly refuse truck.
City cost & eligibility
Sterling Heights lists electronics only through the DPW drop-off day and does not name televisions or computers among its no-charge curbside bulk items, so confirm curbside acceptance and any charge with Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 before setting a screen at the curb.
When & how
The DPW electronics drop-off with Great Lakes Electronics is published for Oct. 3, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Outside that date the county refuses electronics at its hazardous waste site and points residents to manufacturer and retailer takeback programs.
Get it ready
Keep a television, monitor or computer out of the recycling cart, which refuses batteries and electronics. Wipe personal data, keep any stand or cable you want to reuse, and take the item to the DPW at 7200 18 Mile Road during the published drop-off, or call Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 to ask about a curbside arrangement first.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Sterling Heights.
How much does TV removal cost in Sterling 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 Sterling 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 a television or an old computer go?+
The city brings Great Lakes Electronics to the DPW, 7200 18 Mile Road, on Oct. 3, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for televisions, computers and any device with an electrical cord. The recycling cart refuses batteries and electronics.Official guidance
Will the weekly truck take a television?+
The city does not publish televisions among the no-charge bulk items, so curbside acceptance is not confirmed. Call Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 and describe the screen before you set it out.Official guidance
Does Sterling Heights hold an electronics drop-off day?+
Yes. The DPW brings Great Lakes Electronics to 7200 18 Mile Road on Oct. 3, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for televisions, computers and any device with an electrical cord. The city runs a household hazardous waste event and a shred day in the spring on separate dates.Official guidance
