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.
Dropcurb does not remove TVs from walls or do indoor carrying. Arrange the help you need before pickup day, including the trip down interior stairs or through an elevator.

Choose a permitted outdoor spot.
Use a stable, accessible location with a clear path for loading. Keep the TV separate from anything staying. Check building rules before placing it in a shared pickup area.

A television is not collected with the garbage and is the resident's responsibility, so it goes to one of the two city drop-off sites.
City cost & eligibility
Clifton lists televisions among the electronic items that are the resident's responsibility, with drop-off at the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave or the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street. The city publishes no fee for household drop-off at either site, so confirm the terms with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239 before you haul the set.
When & how
Take the set to the Recycling Center at 900 Clifton Ave, which opens Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or to the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street, which takes it Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole, wipe anything that stores data, keep the remote and cords with the set, and never put a television in a garbage barrel or a bulk pile, because electronics are not collected with the garbage and leaving one out can draw a summons.
Electronics, propane and masonry never ride the truck
Electronic items are the resident's responsibility and are not collected with the garbage, so computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs go to the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex or the Public Works Yard instead. Propane tanks belong to the homeowner, will not be collected and can lead to a summons if they are put out. Dirt, stones, brick and concrete are barred from the garbage, and household hazardous waste waits for one of the Passaic County collection days.
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.

Drop electronics at a city site
A Clifton household with a television, monitor, computer, printer, stereo or similar device named on the city's electronic item list.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the two drop-off sites and their hours but no household fee, so confirm the terms with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239 before you load the vehicle.
Arrange it
Take the item to the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave, open Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or to the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Electronics are never collected curbside, and the city treats them as the resident's responsibility, so leaving a television or a computer at the curb can draw a summons.
City recycling center on the City Hall complex for electronics and recyclables
Clifton Recycling Center at the City Hall complex
900 Clifton Avenue, Clifton, NJ 07013
The electronic items the city lists for residents, including computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs, along with the household recyclables the city's accepted materials flyer covers for the recycling depot on City Hall property.
Electronics are the resident's responsibility and are not collected curbside; the city publishes no household drop-off fee, so confirm the terms with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239; and a bulky item such as a mattress or a couch does not belong here, because that route is the first garbage day of the week at the curb.
Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
The city publishes the site and its hours without a household fee, so confirm the terms for the item you are carrying.
Public works yard accepting electronic waste on weekdays
Clifton Department of Public Works Yard
307 E. 7th Street, Clifton, NJ 07011
Electronic waste from residents, which the city directs to the department rather than the curbside collection, and the recyclable material the yard handles for the city.
The yard takes electronic waste Monday through Friday only, electronics are never collected at the curb, and appliances are not named on the city bulk list, so confirm an appliance with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239 before bringing it.
Electronic waste is taken Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the department office is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
No household drop-off fee is published for the yard, so confirm the item and any charge with the department on 973-470-2239.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Clifton.
How much does TV removal cost in Clifton?+
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 Clifton?+
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 Clifton?+
To a city drop-off rather than the curb. Televisions are named among the electronic items that Clifton says are the resident's responsibility and are not collected with the garbage, so the set goes to the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave, open Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or to the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
Where do electronics go instead of the curb?+
To one of the city's two drop-off sites. Clifton lists computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs as electronic items the resident has to handle, and they are not collected with the garbage. The Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave opens Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street takes them Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
