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.

Electronic waste cannot go in any cart, and it moves through a charged curbside collection, a free household hazardous waste pickup or a free county collection centre.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler collects electronic waste at the curb for a nominal charge and publishes no amount, so confirm the price with CR&R at (949) 520-6005. Two free routes exist beside it: single-family homes get up to two household hazardous waste pickups a calendar year that include personal electronic items, and the county collection centres take electronic waste from Orange County residents at no charge.
When & how
Call CR&R at (949) 520-6005 to arrange a curbside collection, book one of the two free household hazardous waste pickups at least five business days ahead, or take the device to a county collection centre Tuesday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Erase personal information from a computer, phone or drive before the device leaves your hands because no destruction happens at the county centres, remove loose batteries where the device allows, and keep electronic waste and universal waste out of all three carts.
Hazardous waste, electronic waste and a Freon unit stay off the carts
Household hazardous waste is illegal in any cart, and electronic waste and universal waste are barred from every automated container as well. A refrigerator or another unit holding Freon needs a separate collection, and household hazardous waste moves through the two free pickups a year for single-family homes or through a county collection centre instead.
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.

Cost & conditions

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lake Forest.
How much does TV removal cost in Lake Forest?+
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 Lake Forest?+
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 be collected at the curb in Lake Forest?+
Yes, at a nominal charge. Electronic waste is illegal in the carts, and CR&R arranges a curbside collection that includes televisions, computer peripherals, dishwashers and microwaves. Single-family homes can also use one of their two free household hazardous waste pickups a year, and the county collection centres take electronic waste free from Orange County residents.Official guidance
