A day to get it gone.
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date shown at checkout. Arrange to have the TV outside before pickup.
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.
Dropcurb does not remove TVs from walls or do indoor carrying. Arrange the help you need before pickup day, including the trip down interior stairs or through an elevator.

Choose a permitted outdoor spot.
Use a stable, accessible location with a clear path for loading. Keep the TV separate from anything staying. Check building rules before placing it in a shared pickup area.

Televisions and monitors of all types are collected at the county electronics events, and the county lists year-round electronics businesses for the rest of the year.
City cost & eligibility
The county electronics events are free to Jefferson County residents, while the listed businesses drop off most electronics free but may charge for televisions, CRT monitors and certain printers, so confirm the device and the price before you load.
When & how
The 2026 county electronics and shredding events ran on January 31, March 14, May 9, June 13 and September 12, 9 to 11:30 a.m., with the September date at Birmingham City Hall and Lynn Henley Park, 710 20th Street North.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole, wipe or reset anything that stores data, and keep electronics and cables out of the blue recycling cart, which refuses them. Confirm the current event calendar or a business's hours before the trip.
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 Birmingham Waste Services Division and Jefferson County

Televisions and monitors, computers and small electronics, large appliances, batteries, paint, chemicals, used oil and grease, and tires without rims.

Arrange it
The 2026 household hazardous waste events are April 25 and October 17, 8 to 11:30 a.m., and the electronics and shredding events ran January 31, March 14, May 9, June 13 and September 12, 9 to 11:30 a.m. Call 205-325-8741 for the current schedule.
Events are held on set dates at rotating sites, so confirm the location and hours before you load, and keep the material sorted by category.
Electronics that cannot wait for a county event date.
Cost & conditions
The county says most electronics can be dropped off for free, but televisions, CRT monitors and certain printers may carry a fee, so call the business for hours and the price for your device.
Arrange it
Call one of the businesses the county lists: Secure Shredding and Recycling at 135 Distribution Dr in Homewood, Gone For Good at 101 Oslo Circle in Birmingham, the UAB Recycling Center at 620 11th Street South, or the Bessemer Recycling Center at 1601 1st Avenue North.
Acceptance and any handling charge are set by each business rather than by the county, so confirm before you load and keep screens whole.
Birmingham residents have three municipal ways to move a large load: the neighborhood bulk trash route, the four district dumpsters, and the public unloading area at the Eastern Area Landfill. Household hazardous waste, appliances and electronics run through Jefferson County event days instead, with year-round electronics businesses listed for the rest of the year. Confirm each site's material list and hours before you load, and bring a driver's license if you use the landfill.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Birmingham.
How much does TV removal cost in Birmingham?+
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 Birmingham?+
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 can I take an old television?+
Televisions and monitors of all types are on the county electronics event list, and the county names year-round businesses such as Secure Shredding and Recycling, Gone For Good, the UAB Recycling Center and the Bessemer Recycling Center. The county warns that televisions and CRT monitors may carry a fee at the businesses, so call first.Official guidance
How do the city collection days work?+
Each neighborhood has one dedicated day a week for household garbage and is marked as a week 1 or week 2 group, which decides the recycling week. Recycling runs every other week on the same day as garbage, and bulk trash follows its own dated neighborhood calendar.Official guidance
Who do I call about a missed pickup or illegal dumping?+
Contact 311 or call (205) 254-6314, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or submit the report through the MyBHAM311 app. The call center is closed on city holidays.Official guidance
