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.

Residential electronics go to the permanent drop-off at the Recovery Operations Center, and everything except CRT televisions and monitors can also go to Goodwill.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no electronics fee for the drop-off, so confirm the item and any charge with the Solid Waste Division on 757-933-2311 before travelling.
When & how
Take the device to the Recovery Operations Center at 520 Atkinson Blvd., open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 4 PM, where electronics are accepted daily.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the green cart and the recycling cart, because the recycling programme refuses them. Erase personal data before handover, and remember that only non CRT electronic waste can go to the Goodwill stores, so a tube television or monitor has to go to the Recovery Operations Center.
Hazardous waste runs on four events, and paint and electronics do not
Household hazardous waste is collected four times a year with a limit of 75 pounds of solids and 5 gallons of liquids per household per event, and every container has to carry its original label. Asbestos, unknown material, PCBs, garbage mixed with chemicals, business or medical waste, explosives, compressed gas cylinders and mercury are refused. Latex paint, up to 5 gallons a week, and electronics are taken daily from Monday to Saturday at the Recovery Operations Center instead of at those events.
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 Newport News.
How much does TV removal cost in Newport News?+
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 Newport News?+
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 Newport News televisions go?+
To the permanent residential electronics drop-off at the Recovery Operations Center, 520 Atkinson Blvd., where electronics are accepted daily from 8 AM to 4 PM. Electronic waste other than CRT televisions and monitors can also go to Goodwill at 12638 Jefferson Avenue or 11061 Warwick Blvd, and the recycling cart does not take electronics at all.Official guidance
What do I need to take a load to the Recovery Operations Center?+
Proof of Newport News residency, shown at the window before anything is disposed of, and a current Solid Waste User Fee on the property if the load is household trash or tires. The limits are six cubic yards of trash and bulk waste a week and four light duty tires without rims a week, and contractor trash, commercial property waste and dump trailers are refused.Official guidance
