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 monitors are accepted at the Mecklenburg County full-service centers, where a residential household is limited to two televisions per visit each month and the fee schedule prints a television rate only for commercial and business customers.
City cost & eligibility
The county fee schedule names a per television or monitor charge for commercial and business customers, accepts laptops at no charge, and charges a set price for all other computers. It does not publish a separate residential television rate, so the amount for a household depends on the fee booth and travels with the load category. Confirm the amount when you arrive.
When & how
North Mecklenburg Disposal and Recycling Center, 12300 N. Statesville Road, Huntersville, Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Business and non-residential loads are not allowed there on Saturdays.
Get it ready
Keep the screen out of your household trash bags and out of your recycling cart, because electronics are a separate stream at the centers. Wipe personal data where the device still powers on. Bring the screen by hand or in the vehicle rather than inside a mixed renovation load.
Mecklenburg County residents display a free blue entry sticker at the full-service centers and show proof of residence such as a driver's license. Without a sticker the load is charged at the out of county category, and a non-county resident can buy an annual sticker. Payment is by debit card or a major credit card except American Express, and the centers take no cash and no checks.
Paint, paint thinner, solvents, gasoline, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent tubes, mercury items and propane tanks up to 20 pounds go to the household hazardous waste area at any Mecklenburg County full-service center, free for county residents. Batteries, including lithium, lithium-ion and tool batteries, also go there rather than in the trash. Ammunition, explosives, pharmaceuticals and smoke detectors are not accepted, and the county says smoke detectors belong in the regular trash.
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.

Arrange it

Bulky items a household would rather have collected from the property instead of hauling to a county center.
Cost & conditions
The town states that residents may contract with a private hauler for bulk items, and each company sets its own price for the load, so the cost is quoted by the hauler you choose rather than published by the town.
Arrange it
Call a licensed private hauler or a junk removal company and describe the items, the access and the pickup address.
A private hauler is the route the town names for bulk items, but the town publishes no rate, no hauler list and no item guarantee, and hazardous material cannot be collected this way because household hazardous waste is free to county residents only at the county centers.
A Cornelius household hauls bulky material rather than setting it out, because the town provides garbage, recycling and yard waste collection only. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, televisions, computers, scrap metal, construction debris and household hazardous waste go to a Mecklenburg County full-service center, and the nearest is the North Mecklenburg center at 12300 N. Statesville Road in Huntersville, open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Loads must arrive separated by material, one large bulky item is free to a county resident with a blue sticker, and loads above fourteen cubic yards go to the Foxhole landfill in Charlotte. The town also lists the North Mecklenburg Landfill and the Highway 49 construction and demolition landfill for renovation material. Check the current hours, accepted items and rates before you load.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cornelius.
How much does TV removal cost in Cornelius?+
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 Cornelius?+
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 I recycle a television in Cornelius?+
Take it to a Mecklenburg County full-service center. A residential household is limited to two televisions per visit per month, and the county prints a television rate for commercial and business customers but no separate residential rate, so ask the fee booth what your load costs before you unload.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Cornelius?+
Waste Pro collects for the town under contract. Garbage is picked up once a week, recycling every other week on a red and blue schedule, and yard waste every week on the same day as garbage. Rollout containers belong to the town and there is one per household, with extras arranged and paid for with Waste Pro at 704-317-2980.Official guidance
Do I need a sticker to use the county drop-off centers?+
Yes. Mecklenburg County residents display a free blue entry sticker and show proof of residence such as a driver's license. Without a sticker the load is charged at the out of county category, and a non-county resident can buy an annual sticker. Payment is by debit or major credit card only, because the centers take no cash and no checks.Official guidance

Yard waste is collected weekly on the same day as garbage, in bags of 50 pounds or less, with up to 20 bags of leaves a week.
