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.

Small e-waste can be placed in a discardable box or bag next to the cleanup bags, and household batteries go in a clear zipper-lock bag with taped terminals. Additional bulky or e-waste items beyond the allowance are collected for a fee, and the county takes e-waste free by appointment.
City cost & eligibility
Small e-waste placed beside the cleanup bags is part of the free clean-up, while additional bulky or e-waste items are collected for a fee that the hauler does not publish, so confirm the amount with Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500. Santa Clara County's household hazardous waste programme also takes e-waste free with an appointment.
When & how
Put small e-waste in a discardable box or bag next to the cleanup bags on the scheduled day, or book a free county household hazardous waste appointment for larger devices.
Get it ready
Tape the terminals on lithium, six volt and nine volt alkaline batteries and put them in a clear zipper-lock bag beside the clean-up bags, not in the gutter. Keep hazardous waste out of every cart, bin and bag, and clear personal data before handing over a computer or drive.
Bags are filled at the curb and nothing heavy goes inside
The bag option works on a weight and size rule. Two company-provided 1.5 cubic yard bags, or up to fourteen of your own 32-gallon bags, are filled at the curb and not more than twenty-four hours before the scheduled collection, everything has to fit inside without protruding, and anything over 75 pounds cannot go in a bag at all. Loose material placed outside the bags is refused, wood has to be shorter than three feet, and treated wood waste, automobile parts, dirt, sod, cement, rock, brick and hazardous waste never belong in a clean-up. Bags and items are at the curb by 6:00 a.m., with vehicles moved clear.
Hazardous waste does not belong in any cart, bin or bag. Paint, petroleum products, acids and bases, batteries, poisons, pesticides, pool chemicals, solvents, fluorescent lamps, propane and sharps go to Santa Clara County's household hazardous waste programme, which is free with an appointment and also takes e-waste. Medications are no longer accepted at the county's San Jose and San Martin permanent facilities. For reusable items, the Goodwill store at 311 W Calaveras Boulevard takes clothing, housewares, electronics including working and non-working sets, printers, microwaves, vacuums, sellable furniture and small appliances, while it refuses large appliances, large furniture, batteries, liquids and hazardous chemicals.
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.
A single-family household with a mattress, a piece of furniture, an appliance, bags of loose clutter or a small pile of items that cannot go in the carts.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Four free bulky item cleanups per rolling twelve-month period for single-family residential customers, spaced at least eight weeks apart. Each clean-up covers one large item or two 1.5 cubic yard bags on the city page, and the hauler's page allows up to three bulky items or up to fourteen 32-gallon bags. Extra clean-ups and additional items carry a fee.
Arrange it
Call Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500, have the bags delivered if that option is used, fill them at the curb up to twenty-four hours ahead, and put everything out by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day.
Four clean-ups a rolling twelve months with at least eight weeks between them, nothing over 75 pounds in a bag, wood under three feet, and no loose material outside the bags, treated wood, auto parts, dirt, sod, cement, rock, brick or hazardous waste.
Book a county household hazardous waste appointment
A household with paint, petroleum products, acids or bases, batteries, pesticides, poisons, pool chemicals, solvents, fluorescent lamps, propane, smoke detectors, sharps or electronic waste.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The county programme takes a free appointment from residents for household hazardous waste at its drop-off locations, with temporary drop-off events also listed.
Arrange it
Make a free appointment on the county website, or use one of its temporary drop-off events, then take the material to the location on the scheduled date.
Medications are no longer accepted at the county's San Jose and San Martin permanent facilities, so they go to a kiosk or mail-back programme instead, and the county publishes locations and hours separately from the programme page.

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