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 refused at the curb and go to a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, or to a convenience centre on a weekend at three specific sites.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the town nor the county publishes a fee for electronics at the multi-material facilities or the convenience centres, so confirm the accepted device and any charge before the trip with Wake County Solid Waste or Public Works at 919-435-9570.
When & how
Take the devices to a multi-material recycling facility such as North Wake on Deponie Drive in Raleigh or South Wake on Old Smithfield Road in Apex, both open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or to convenience centre Sites 1, 4 or 11, which take electronics on weekends only.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the devices out of the trash and recycling carts, and note that the two Wake Forest convenience centres do not accept electronics at all.
Four streams leave the curb for Wake County, at the right site
Electronics go to a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, or to convenience centre Sites 1, 4 or 11 on a weekend only. Large appliances with freon, such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning and heating units, washers, dryers and water heaters, also go to a multi-material facility. Chemicals, paint, batteries, flammables and fluorescent bulbs go to a household hazardous waste facility, and household construction debris from the homeowner goes only to convenience centre Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11 with verification. Mattresses and box springs are accepted only at Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11, at a maximum of two a day, so the two Wake Forest convenience centres are not the right destination for any of these.
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.

Self haul in Wake Forest means the town bulk appointment or a Wake County site. The town takes furniture, mattresses, box springs, exercise equipment and listed appliances such as dishwashers, dryers, stoves, washing machines and water heaters on a Tuesday bulk appointment, with two free collections a calendar year and fifty dollars for each one after that, and it refuses electronics, tires, liquid paint, batteries, hazardous material, construction material and freon appliances including refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units. Wake County picks up the rest. Electronics and large appliances go to a multi-material recycling facility, with North Wake on Deponie Drive in Raleigh and South Wake on Old Smithfield Road in Apex open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and East Wake in Wendell open Saturday and Sunday only. Chemicals, batteries, paint, solvents, aerosols, fluorescent bulbs, fire extinguishers and mercury thermometers go to a household hazardous waste facility, with North Wake temporarily closed after fire damage and running a Saturday collection event instead. Mattresses and box springs are accepted only at convenience centre Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11, two a day with residency verification, and household construction debris only at those same sites from the homeowner with verification, while concrete, bricks and pavers are refused there and a larger load goes to a private construction and demolition facility or the South Wake Landfill, which takes residential loads on a limited basis with cash, cheque or credit card payment. The two convenience centres in Wake Forest take household trash, recyclables, scrap metal and clothing, but not mattresses, electronics or construction debris.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Wake Forest.
How much does TV removal cost in Wake Forest?+
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 Wake Forest?+
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 Wake Forest?+
Not in the trash or recycling cart, and not to a bulk pickup, because the town refuses electronics such as televisions, computers, printers, copiers and microwaves. Use a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, which takes televisions, computers, monitors, game consoles, stereos, microwaves and any corded device, or a convenience centre at Sites 1, 4 or 11, where electronics are accepted on weekends only. The two convenience centres in Wake Forest do not take electronics.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Wake Forest?+
The town does, through the Public Works Department on 919-435-9570, under a mandatory residential sanitation service for single-family dwellings of up to four units with private driveways. The service includes one trash cart, one recycling cart and weekly collection on the Raleigh Water bill, and Republic Services provides a free collection assistance programme for the elderly and disabled through Public Works.Official guidance
Where do the items the town refuses go?+
To Wake County. Electronics and large appliances with freon go to a multi-material recycling facility such as North Wake on Deponie Drive in Raleigh or South Wake on Old Smithfield Road in Apex, both open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Chemicals, paint, batteries and bulbs go to a household hazardous waste facility, with North Wake temporarily closed and running a Saturday collection event. Mattresses and household construction debris go only to convenience centre Sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11, so the two Wake Forest centres are not the destination for those.Official guidance
