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.

Show us the TV that is going.
Add a location photo and access notes after booking. Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. For exposed broken glass or unusual damage, send a photo and check with us before booking.

Electronics are not part of the curbside route. The district office on Shawnee Road takes them by appointment during a spring to fall season and publishes a per television price, and two Goodwill stores in Lima are the year round alternative.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 per television or cathode ray tube set 32 inches and below at the district office, with flat panel sets 42 inches and larger at a higher published price and console televisions in wood cabinets higher again. Computers, laptops, computer components, printers, scanners, cell phones, microwaves and most other electronics carry no charge at the district office. The service is by appointment only and the collection season runs mid-April to mid-October.
When & how
Call the district at 800-553-6763 to book an appointment during the season, or bring computers and small electronics to the Goodwill stores on Harding Highway or Cable Road, which are open year round.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, laptops and phones before handover, and keep the cords and cables with the device. Do not put electronics or batteries in the blue recycling container, which accepts only plastics number 1 and 2, metal cans, glass, paper and cardboard.
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 Lima.
How much does TV removal cost in Lima?+
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 Lima?+
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 Lima?+
To the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District office at 815 Shawnee Road, Suite D, by appointment during a collection season that runs mid-April to mid-October. The district publishes a per television price that rises with the size of the set and with a console cabinet, while computers and most other electronics are accepted at no charge.Official guidance
Is there a year round place for electronics?+
The district lists two Goodwill stores in Lima, on Harding Highway and on Cable Road, for electronics and computer donations, and they are open year round rather than only during the district's appointment season. The district still advises calling ahead before any drop off.Official guidance
What numbers should a Lima household keep?+
Rumpke answers collection questions and bulky item notices at 1-800-828-8171, city customer service handles container purchases and complaints at 419-221-5252, utilities administration is at 419-221-5294, and the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District takes hazardous waste and electronics questions at 419-228-8278.Official guidance
What goes in the Lima recycling container?+
The city recycling container takes steel, tin and aluminum cans, aluminum foil, green, brown and clear glass without broken pieces, newspaper, paperboard, magazines, junk mail, corrugated cardboard and plastic number 1 and 2 bottles. Residents who would rather drop off material can use the county sites on Central Avenue and Buckeye Road, where everything has to be separated.Official guidance
