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.

Televisions are named on the city's acceptable bulky list, so they leave with the bulk truck rather than through the electronics route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Televisions appear on the acceptable list for the city's bulky trash collection, which carries no published per-item fee, and the curbside route is capped at twelve collections per property in any twelve-month period.
When & how
Put the television in the bulky pile at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week.
Get it ready
Keep the set in the bulky pile rather than the household garbage, since the city requires garbage to be bagged inside the automated container and does not collect material placed on the ground or on top of a container. Wipe anything that stores personal data before the set leaves the house.
Separate the piles and have them out by 7 a.m. Monday
Brush, bulky trash, bagged yard waste and leaves are collected by different trucks and go to different disposal sites, so they have to sit in separate piles at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week. Bulky material stays at least five feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other stationary objects, sits near the street in front of the residence, and must not block the roadway, sidewalk, ditch or catch basins, cover water meters, sit under low-hanging wires or go in an alleyway.
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 Chattanooga Public Works solid waste and recycling
Use the city bulky collection
A Chattanooga household at a property it owns or lives in, with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or a television that the garbage container cannot hold.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city publishes no per-item fee for bulky trash. The service is limited instead of priced, at twelve bulky collections per property in any consecutive twelve-month period, and it is not offered to businesses, apartment complexes or landlords.
Arrange it
Watch for the rotating area schedule, then put the piles at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week, keeping brush, bulky trash, yard waste and leaves separate. Chatt311 on (423) 643-6311 answers questions.
Twelve bulky collections per property in any twelve months, no businesses, apartments or landlords, and building materials, lumber, auto parts, liquids and 55-gallon drums are not acceptable. Household garbage must stay in the automated container.
The self-haul route for a Chattanooga address depends on what is in the load. The city's three Refuse Collection Centers take appliances, mattresses, furniture, metal, drywall, limited tires, lumber and similar bulky material from city residents, but they require a licence showing Chattanooga residency and Hamilton County tags, limit a visit to eight bags, cap the year at twelve visits, and refuse computer electronics, concrete, dirt, rock, brick, block, roofing, insulation, pallets, brush, car parts, propane tanks and hazardous material. Computer-related electronics and hazardous material go instead to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which the city describes as free to any Hamilton County resident and which is open Tuesday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a Tennessee driver's licence and a fifteen gallon or 150 pound household limit. The City Landfill on Birchwood Pike is not a route for any of that material: it is free only for household garbage from a city resident's primary residence, it refuses bulky items such as appliances and furniture, and it refuses construction and demolition waste outright.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Chattanooga.
How much does TV removal cost in Chattanooga?+
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 Chattanooga?+
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 does a television go in Chattanooga?+
Televisions are named on the acceptable bulky list, so they go out with the rotating bulk collection rather than with the weekly garbage, and they must not be mixed into the household garbage because that has to be bagged inside the automated container. The household hazardous waste facility is the wrong door for a television, because it takes computer-related electronics and lists non-computer electronics as not acceptable.Official guidance
