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.

New York State forbids putting electronic waste in the garbage. The city runs one free registered electronics collection a year, and the bulk page both names televisions as a bulk item and warns that electronics are not accepted there.
City cost & eligibility
From $5 per electronic item other than a television at a scheduled bulk pickup, with flat screen, tube and broken televisions priced higher and the annual city electronics event free for televisions, computers, consoles, cords and appliances with registration. City of Troy resident scheduling a bulk pickup with the Public Works dispatcher, or a Troy household registered for the annual electronics recycling event. Advance registration is required for the event.
When & how
The annual electronics recycling event usually falls in the fall, registration is required and the city had not posted the next date at the checked date. A bulk appointment is available sooner through the dispatcher at 518-270-4579, so confirm which route the city will accept for a screen before booking.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover and keep electronics out of the garbage, because New York State makes it illegal to put electronic waste in the trash. The bulk page states that electronics are not accepted at the curb while the same page and the pricing sheet list and price televisions, so confirm a television with the dispatcher rather than assuming either answer.
Set out the night before the confirmed date, not earlier
Items may not be placed at the curb until after 6 p.m. the night before the confirmed pickup date, and household garbage follows a similar window, out after 7 p.m. the night before or before 6 a.m. on the collection day. Garbage has to be in the city-provided water-tight container rather than in a bag, and recyclables go out in the city blue container in the same window.
Keep hazardous waste, dirt and project material off the curb
Household hazardous waste, batteries, used oil and filters, industrial waste, medical waste, sludge and fuel ashes are refused on the bulk route. Dirt, rocks, bricks, cinder blocks, sand and concrete are refused as well, and construction or demolition material set out for pickup is treated as illegal disposal. Paint can go to a household hazardous waste event or to a PaintCare retail location, and a screen belongs with the electronics programme rather than in the garbage.
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 Troy NY.
How much does TV removal cost in Troy NY?+
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 Troy NY?+
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 old televisions and electronics go in Troy?+
Not in the garbage, because New York State makes electronic waste illegal to throw away. The city runs a free electronics recycling event once a year with registration required, and the bulk route priced televisions and other electronic items separately when this guide was written. Because the bulk page also states that electronics are not accepted at the curb, confirm a screen with the Public Works dispatcher at 518-270-4579 before you book or set it out.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Troy?+
The Sanitation division of the city Department of Public Works does. It collects garbage and recyclables weekly from about 17,000 residential households and roughly 3,000 business properties, and it also runs the bulk trash, yard waste and recycling programmes. Collection day is set by address, so use the city route maps or call the Public Works dispatcher at 518-270-4579.Official guidance
How does bulk trash pickup work in Troy?+
A bulk pickup has to be scheduled in advance with the Public Works dispatcher at 518-270-4579 or through the city's online request, and nothing may be set out until after 6 p.m. the night before the confirmed date. Furniture, appliances, carpets, televisions and mattresses are the oversized items the city names. Each item is billed on the published pricing sheet and a hauling fee is added for every haul of up to two cubic yards.Official guidance
