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.

One of the three large bulky items may be electronic waste, and computers, printers, televisions and large microwaves are explicitly acceptable.

Get it ready
Place small electronic waste in a discardable box or bag, keep the screen whole, and wipe or reset anything that stores data. Hazardous waste such as radioactive material, medications, sharps and toxic products is refused on every route.
At the kerb by 6 a.m. and never more than a day early
Place items curbside or at the arranged collection location by 6 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day, and do not set anything out more than 24 hours in advance. Keep the pile clear of street and sidewalk access.

Alameda residential customers, including multi-plex and multi-family addresses, with appliances, mattresses, furniture, one electronic item or up to three cubic yards of contained material.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One on-call bulky item collection day per household or unit every twelve months at no additional charge, capped at three cubic yards and three large items of up to 150 pounds each.
Arrange it
Call Alameda County Industries at 510-483-1400 or email info@alamedacountyindustries.com to schedule, then put the material out by 6 a.m. on the collection day.
Items over 150 pounds, abandoned automobiles, tires, dirt, rocks, construction and demolition debris, and household hazardous waste are refused. Appointments are unavailable in the first two weeks of January, and multi-family addresses must agree a collection location with the building manager first.
Alameda has no municipal transfer station in the retained sources; the bulky route is the franchised hauler's on-call collection, which every residential customer can book once per household or unit every twelve months at no charge, within three cubic yards and three large items of up to 150 pounds each. One of the three items may be electronic waste, and clean undamaged reusable pieces set apart and labelled REUSE go to a donation facility rather than the landfill. What the route refuses has to go elsewhere: dirt, rock, construction and demolition debris move through the hauler's debris box or special bin service, and household hazardous waste including radioactive material, medications, sharps and toxic products is barred from every cart and bin, with the page pointing to StopWaste and the county hazardous waste line at 1-800-606-6606.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Alameda.
How much does TV removal cost in Alameda?+
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 Alameda?+
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.
Can a television go in the Alameda bulky pickup?+
Yes. One of the three bulky items may be electronic waste, and the hauler names computers, printers, televisions, large microwaves and similar items as acceptable. Put small e-waste in a discardable box or bag.Official guidance
Who runs the Alameda bulky item pickup?+
Alameda County Industries is the city's franchised waste hauler and runs the on-call bulky item collection. Schedule it at 510-483-1400 or info@alamedacountyindustries.com, and the city's zero waste page confirms the one free cleanup per household every twelve months.Official guidance
