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.

Televisions and electronics are accepted in the annual Bulky and Reuse Pick-Up, and they also go free to the Alameda County household hazardous waste facilities or to a CVSan Recycles Day event. They must never go in the carts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The bulky pickup uses the one free collection a year, with e-waste set out unbagged. The four Alameda County hazardous waste facilities are free to Alameda County residents with no appointment, and Recycles Day is open to CVSan residents and businesses by appointment.
When & how
Book the curbside pickup with Alameda County Industries on (510) 483-1400, or drive to the Hayward facility at 2091 West Winton Ave. on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, to the Oakland facility at 2100 East 7th Street from Wednesday to Saturday, or to a CVSan Recycles Day event by appointment.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the garbage, recycling and organics carts, because the district states they must not be disposed of there. Wipe personal data before the device leaves the house, then follow the county drop-off rules: stay in the vehicle with the items in an unlocked trunk, bring Alameda County identification, and stay within 125 pounds or 15 gallons per visit with containers no larger than five gallons.
Construction and demolition debris, concrete, rocks, brick and dirt are refused, and so is household hazardous waste including antifreeze and motor oil and filters. Those materials go instead to a debris box or approved construction facility, or to a county household hazardous waste facility. Cart rules still apply on collection day: carts go out by 6 a.m. with handles to the curb, lids must close, and overflow can draw an overage fee or a non-collection notice.
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.

Take hazardous waste and electronics to a county facility
A household with paint, batteries, electronics, chemicals, motor oil, fluorescent bulbs or other household hazardous products.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Alameda County residents at any of the four facilities, with no appointment required and Alameda County identification at the gate. Businesses and residential landlords use a separate service.
Arrange it
Drive to Hayward at 2091 West Winton Ave. or Oakland at 2100 East 7th Street, among others, stay in the vehicle with the material in an unlocked trunk, and the staff unloads it for you.
Each visit is limited to 125 pounds or 15 gallons in containers no larger than five gallons or 50 pounds, which must be sturdy, sealed and leak-proof. Facilities are shut on their closure days and on listed holidays, the waste has to be transported by the household resident rather than a hauler, and the service is not open to businesses.
Drop mattresses, electronics or construction material at Davis Street
Alameda County households and businesses with up to five mattresses or box springs a day, appliances and electronics, tires, carpet, or a construction and demolition load that needs certified recycling.
Cost & conditions
The operator publishes free mattress drop-off for the first five items per day and a per item fee beyond that, plus a general environmental charge on invoice charges, but it does not publish a gate rate for mixed or construction loads. Confirm the accepted material and the price before loading.
Arrange it
Drive the load to the Davis Street complex in San Leandro. The operator page carries the services and the program details; use it for directions because the page does not print a street address.
Mattress drop-off is capped at five items a day before a per item fee starts. Mixed wet trash is not sorted for recyclables, so separate recyclables and organics first, and commercial drivers need a safety vest and hardhat on site.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Castro Valley.
How much does TV removal cost in Castro Valley?+
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 Castro Valley?+
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.
