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.

The city publishes no electronics program, so a screen or computer goes to a Sullivan County transfer station or out as household junk after checking with Public Works.
City cost & eligibility
No city or county page read here publishes an electronics charge. Confirm with Public Works at (423) 989-5567 for a curbside set out or with the Sullivan County Department of Sanitation at (423) 323-6439 for the transfer stations.
When & how
Take devices to a Sullivan County transfer station during its posted hours, or ask Public Works how the city wants a screen handled on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
The city treats fluorescent and television tubes as dangerous items, so if a tube goes into a container it has to be securely wrapped and marked to protect the collection crew. Keep electronics out of the recycling and keep the device whole rather than breaking it down.
The city collects several kinds of solid waste on the collection day and asks residents to separate garbage, household junk, yard debris and leaves before setting them out. Household junk and bulk items sit at the curb as their own pile rather than inside the container.
Broken glass, fluorescent and television tubes, light bulbs, needles and sharp pieces of metal must not be placed in a container unless they are securely wrapped and marked so the crew cannot be injured. Garbage itself has to be drained of liquid, wrapped, bagged and put in the container.
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.
City of Bristol Tennessee Public Works Solid Waste Section, with Sullivan County Solid Waste for transfer stations and hazardous waste
Take it to a county transfer station
Households with old appliances, computers or household waste to haul themselves.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes the stations and their hours but no rates, so confirm any charge with the Sullivan County Department of Sanitation on (423) 323-6439 or with the station directly before loading up.
Arrange it
Drive to the Bristol Transfer Station at 804 Raytheon Road, open 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and not closed for lunch, or the Kingsport station at 1921 Brookside Lane, open 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and closed for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to noon.
The stations take household waste, recyclables and select hazardous materials, and the county lists mixed paper, cardboard, aluminum cans and tin cans among what the recycling centers accept. Confirm anything unusual before the trip.
Bristol Tennessee keeps nearly everything in its own weekly curbside collection: refuse, household junk, furniture, appliances, brush and bulk items all go out on the same day, and no request call is needed for the junk, brush or bulk. The exceptions are the items the city refuses, which are tires on rims, car parts, building materials, dirt, rock and contractor material, plus hazardous and liquid waste. Appliances and computers can also be taken to a Sullivan County transfer station, with the Bristol station at 804 Raytheon Road open 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and not closed for lunch, so confirm the days it is open on (423) 878-1880, and the county runs the household hazardous waste collection day for paint, chemicals and similar material. No fee is published on any of the pages read for this guide, so the packet asks residents to confirm charges with the city or the county before a trip.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Bristol.
How much does TV removal cost in Bristol?+
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 Bristol?+
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.
