A day to get it gone.

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 TV can stay inside while you book. Before pickup, arrange to have it disconnected, taken down if mounted and moved to an accessible outdoor spot.
A pickup day is not an exact arrival appointment. If your building allows only a short loading window, contact us before booking to confirm a workable plan.
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.

Televisions ride the scheduled bulky route at no charge and the Transfer Station lists them free by appointment, while computers and electronics go to the city's free monthly collection or to a drop-off on Central Avenue.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Pawtucket residents. Televisions are listed with no charge on the scheduled bulky route and free within a three-piece Transfer Station appointment, and the monthly mattress and e-waste event collects computers and electronics free for residents. The event is open to non-residents for electronics as well.
When & how
Schedule a television with Public Works, take it to the Transfer Station appointment, or bring computers and electronics to the monthly event on the first Saturday from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the lot across from City Hall.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer or drive leaves the house, keep cords and remotes with the device, and leave appliances, household trash and hazardous waste behind, because the event refuses all three. Keep electronics out of the refuse barrel.
Metal items, furniture, mattresses, box springs, appliances and televisions are only collected once they are scheduled with Public Works on 401-728-0500 ext. 233. Furniture is limited to three pieces a week, the larger pieces carry a published price, and everything else that will not fit a barrel can be taken to the Transfer Station with proof of Pawtucket residency.
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.

Schedule the curbside bulky pickup
A Pawtucket household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, metal or a television that the barrel will not take.
Cost & conditions
The price depends on the item: love seats, couches, sectionals, kitchen tables and up to six chairs are $10 each, refrigerators, freezers, mattresses and box springs are $16 each, and stoves, washers, dryers, water coolers, metal and televisions are listed at no charge, with each air conditioner past two a year at $16. Confirm your load on 401-728-0500 ext. 233.
Arrange it
Call Public Works on 401-728-0500 ext. 233 and book the pickup, then put the items out on the agreed day, with furniture limited to three pieces a week.
Nothing is collected until it is scheduled, construction material and automobile parts are refused, and a property managed by a private company has to arrange its own bulky waste disposal.

Take your own load to the Transfer Station
A Pawtucket resident with household bags, a rug, yard waste, cardboard, tires, white metal, an air conditioner, a mattress, propane or motor oil.
Cost & conditions
From $10 for the $10 charge for a pickup, van or SUV load of up to three bags and for a rolled rug, with a small car load free, recyclable mattresses free up to three a day, non-recyclable mattresses at $25 each, tires over the free allowance at $15 each and propane over 20 pounds at $20. Pawtucket residents only, with a valid license showing a city address. Cash is accepted at the gate; card payments are made in advance through the city's online portal and proof of payment must be shown.
Arrange it
Go to 240 Grotto Avenue Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. or Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and use the appointment route for bulky items, refrigerators and freezers, furniture, televisions and metal.
Closed on holidays and during parking bans, and construction and commercial waste are refused outright, so a project load must go to the state campus instead.

Use the free monthly mattress and e-waste drop-off
A household with a mattress or box spring and a household with computers, televisions or other electronics.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free for Pawtucket residents, with mattress and box spring collection limited to Pawtucket residents and electronics open to residents and non-residents alike.
Arrange it
Go to the lot across the street from City Hall on the first Saturday of the month, unless the city notes otherwise, between 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The published 2026 examples include April 4 and May 2, so confirm the current date with Public Works.
Household trash, hazardous waste and appliances are not accepted, and the mattress collection is limited to Pawtucket residents, so a refrigerator has to use the scheduled route instead.
Drop recyclable mattresses or e-waste at a local partner
A household with a recyclable mattress or box spring, or with computers and electronics that it would rather drop off than schedule.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Tuff Stuff Recycling on Walcott Street takes recyclable mattresses and box springs free during its weekday hours with a maximum of eleven pieces per drop-off, and the city lists Green Tech Assets on Central Avenue for e-waste without publishing a fee there.
Arrange it
Take recyclable mattresses and box springs to Tuff Stuff Recycling at 345 Walcott Street, Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., or take electronics to Green Tech Assets at 1110 Central Avenue during business hours. Confirm each site before travelling.
Tuff Stuff takes recyclable mattress pieces only and caps a drop-off at eleven pieces, and the city publishes no fee for the Green Tech e-waste drop-off, so call ahead on 401-721-9996.
Pawtucket residents have two self-haul routes and one state route. The Transfer Station at 240 Grotto Avenue takes household bags, rugs, yard waste, cardboard, tires, white metal, air conditioners, mattresses, propane and motor oil from residents who show a city-address license, and it books bulky items, refrigerators and freezers, furniture, televisions and metal by appointment, but it refuses construction and commercial waste. A recyclable mattress or box spring can also be dropped free at the city's monthly event on the first Saturday, in the lot across from City Hall, or free at Tuff Stuff Recycling on Walcott Street, and electronics go to that event or to Green Tech Assets on Central Avenue. Construction material has no city route at all, so it goes to the state resource recovery campus on Shun Pike in Johnston, where the city prints a construction line and fees may apply.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pawtucket.
How much does TV removal cost in Pawtucket?+
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 Pawtucket?+
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 Pawtucket?+
A television is scheduled with Public Works at no charge on the bulky route, or taken to the Transfer Station's free appointment within the three-piece limit. Computers and electronics go to the city's free monthly collection on the first Saturday of the month, or to the Green Tech Assets drop-off on Central Avenue.Official guidance
How do I schedule furniture, a mattress or an appliance pickup?+
Call Public Works at 401-728-0500 ext. 233 and schedule it before the item goes outside, because these items are not collected unscheduled. Furniture is limited to three pieces a week with a published charge on the larger pieces, mattresses and box springs and refrigerators and freezers sit on their own priced lines, and stoves, washers, dryers, water coolers, air conditioners within the yearly limit, metal and televisions are collected at no charge on the same route.Official guidance
Can I take my own load to the Grotto Avenue station?+
Yes, if you live in Pawtucket and show a license with a city address. The station at 240 Grotto Avenue is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., closed on holidays and during parking bans, takes cash on site with card payments prepaid online, prices loads by vehicle and item, and refuses construction and commercial waste.Official guidance
