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.

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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Televisions, monitors and computers are not a curbside item in Elizabeth, because the brochure requires electronic devices to be brought to the city Recycling Center. VCRs, desktop fax machines and similar devices may go out with the household garbage instead.
City cost & eligibility
The city requires the devices at the Recycling Center and publishes no drop-off fee for them, so confirm the current position with the Recycling Division at 908-820-4150 before loading a set.
When & how
Take the device to the Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue, near the animal shelter and across from Mattano Park, which the brochure lists as open seven days a week.
Get it ready
Bring the device whole, because the brochure does not accept dismantled electronics. Delete personal and confidential information first, and keep the set off the bulk route and out of the recycling bin.
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.

Elizabeth Recycling Center drop-off
A household with a television, monitor, computer or one of the special recyclables that cannot go in the cart.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the accepted items and the center hours but no drop-off fee, so confirm the current position with the Recycling Division at 908-820-4150.
Arrange it
Take the material to 523 Trenton Avenue, near the animal shelter and across from Mattano Park.
No dismantled electronics, no commercial dumping, and anyone caught dumping garbage at the center is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Self-hauling in Elizabeth runs through the city Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue, near the animal shelter and across from Mattano Park. The center takes televisions, monitors and computers as whole units, batteries including car and rechargeable types, used motor oil and cooking oil for residents with identification and no more than five gallons, fluorescent bulbs, the accepted number 6 white foam, tires, and household plastic bags and wrap. It refuses dismantled electronics, crushed bulbs, colored or food service foam, other car products and paint, and any commercial dumping. For a large household item, the cheaper route is the bulk allowance of three items with the regular garbage on the second garbage day, while metal appliances and yard waste move only by appointment on 908-820-4150, with the doors removed and the refrigerant evacuated before the call. Construction material never rides either city route, so a project load goes with the contractor or to a registered facility. 2026 Trash and Recycling CalendarCity Yard

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Elizabeth.
How much does TV removal cost in Elizabeth?+
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 Elizabeth?+
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 go in Elizabeth?+
To the city Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue, because the brochure requires televisions, monitors and computers to be brought there and does not accept dismantled electronics. VCRs, desktop fax machines and similar devices may go out with the household garbage, so the two categories are not the same.Official guidance
