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.

A reasonably sized television and a computer ride the heavy pick up, projection televisions do not, and the city points at the two Texas recycling programmes and a paid per-pound drop-off for everything else.
City cost & eligibility
Televisions within a reasonable size and computers are part of the heavy pick up with no separate charge published, while the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland charges Friendswood residents a fee per pound for electronics-type items such as keyboards, monitors and hard drives. Confirm the fee on 281-489-2795 before loading.
When & how
Put a television or computer out on the first garbage day of the week, or take electronics-type material to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, whose hours the city does not publish.
Get it ready
Keep a projection television off the curb because the city refuses it, wipe personal data from a computer before handover, and treat the drop-off as a paid route rather than a free one because the city states there is a fee per pound there.
Heavy pick up rides the first garbage day of the week
Friendswood collects larger items once a week on the first garbage day of the household's two collection days. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters with the water removed, computers and reasonably sized televisions are all on the list, while carpet, swing sets and doors have their own cutting and weight conditions, and construction material, tires, chemicals and projection televisions are refused.
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 Friendswood with Waste Connections, the City of Pearland and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Use the weekly heavy pick up
A Friendswood household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a water heater, a computer or a reasonably sized television.
Cost & conditions
No separate per-item charge is published for heavy pick up; it is part of the residential collection service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax, and a technician's charge for removing Freon from a cooling appliance is separate. Confirm the item and the day on 281-996-3232.
Arrange it
Put the items at the curb before 7 a.m. on the first garbage day of the week, with the cutting and weight conditions applied to carpet, swing sets and doors.
Projection televisions, tires, fencing material, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron, chemicals and construction material are all refused, and a refrigerator or freezer is only collected once the Freon has been removed and the unit tagged.

Use the Stella Roberts facility for hazardous waste and electronics
A Friendswood household with paint, chemicals, batteries, motor oil or electronics-type material such as a monitor, keyboard or hard drive.
Cost & conditions
Friendswood residents pay a small fee per pound at the Pearland facility, and no amount is published, so confirm the fee schedule on 281-489-2795 before loading the car.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Stella Roberts Recycling facility at 5800 Magnolia Parkway in Pearland on a Tuesday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. or a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., keeping products in their original containers and separating electronics-type items from chemicals.
The route is fee based rather than free, the facility is in another city, and it is operated by Keep Pearland Beautiful rather than a city department, so confirm the current fee schedule on 281-489-2795 before travelling.
Use a Texas recycling programme for a television or computer
A household with a television or computer equipment looking for a manufacturer or brand programme instead of the curbside route.
Cost & conditions
The state programme pages list brand and manufacturer options and do not publish a price, so confirm the terms with whichever programme is being used.
Arrange it
Check the Texas Recycles TVs programme for a television or the Texas Recycles Computers programme for computer equipment, then confirm the drop-off terms with the brand or recycler before travelling.
The programmes are lists of opportunities rather than a single drop-off, and a projection television or a commercial load may not be covered, so confirm the device first.
Friendswood's own route is the weekly heavy pick up, which runs on the first garbage day of the week and carries furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters without water, computers and reasonably sized televisions, with carpet, swing sets and doors subject to cutting and weight conditions. A refrigerator or freezer only goes out after a licensed technician removes the Freon and tags the unit. Everything the city refuses, including construction material, tires, fencing, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron and chemicals, has to be handled privately, and hazardous waste and electronics-type material can be taken to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, where Friendswood residents pay a fee per pound and should call 281-489-2795 for the current schedule.

Regional drop-off for hazardous waste and electronics
Stella Roberts Recycling Facility
5800 Magnolia Parkway, Pearland, TX 77584
Household hazardous waste from Friendswood residents, including flammable and combustible liquids and solids, poisons, corrosives and acids and bases, oxidizers such as pool chemicals, lead acid batteries, batteries including nickel cadmium, lithium and mercury, motor oil and cooking oil, car fluids and latex and oil-based paint, plus electronics-type items such as computer keyboards, monitors and hard drives.
Friendswood residents pay a small fee per pound for hazardous waste and for electronics-type items, so the route is not free. The City publishes that fee basis and gives 281-489-2795 for the fee schedule, and the centre is operated by Keep Pearland Beautiful rather than the City of Pearland, so confirm the current fee on that number before loading the car.
Tuesday to Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the centre operated by Keep Pearland Beautiful rather than the City of Pearland.
The city states only that Friendswood residents will pay a small fee per pound for hazardous waste and for electronics-type items, so confirm the current fee schedule on 281-489-2795.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Friendswood.
How much does TV removal cost in Friendswood?+
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 Friendswood?+
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.
How do televisions and computers leave a Friendswood home?+
A television within a reasonable size and a computer go out with the weekly heavy pick up on the first garbage day, while a projection television is refused and has to use another route. The city also links the Texas Recycles TVs and Texas Recycles Computers programmes, and the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland takes electronics-type items at a fee per pound.Official guidance
Which day is heavy pick up in Friendswood?+
The first of the household's two weekly garbage days. Garbage is collected twice a week, and the larger items listed by the city, including furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters, computers and reasonably sized televisions, are collected once a week on that first day, with everything at the curb by 7 a.m.Official guidance
