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.

Televisions and monitors cannot be collected at the curb because the hauler treats them as hazardous waste, and the Novato facility accepts them on its public collection days.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Novato residents at the Novato household hazardous waste facility, which the district describes as free to residents and charges fees only to eligible businesses.
When & how
Take the set to 7576 Redwood Blvd on a public collection day, which needs no appointment, or use the free Conservation Corps electronic waste pickup on a Monday or Thursday.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and out of the carts and the bulky pile, and note the facility's published limit of five cathode ray tubes, which covers televisions and computer monitors. Medications and sharps follow their own routes.
The bulky collection refuses liquids, dirt, rock, concrete, asphalt, hazardous or infectious waste, ashes, televisions, monitors and anything longer than six feet, and televisions and monitors are treated as hazardous waste instead. Batteries, paint, motor oil, sharps and electronic waste go to the Novato Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 7576 Redwood Blvd on a public collection day, where residents need no appointment, and household batteries can also go in a sealed clear bag on top of the blue recycling cart on collection day.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Novato.
How much does TV removal cost in Novato?+
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 Novato?+
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 out with the bulky pile?+
No. The hauler refuses televisions and monitors at the curb because they are treated as hazardous waste, although the rest of a computer may go in the garbage can. Take the set to the Novato hazardous waste facility on a public collection day, where televisions and cathode ray tubes are accepted up to five.Official guidance
How do I book a bulky item collection in Novato?+
Call Recology Sonoma Marin at 1-800-243-0291 or email RecologySonomaMarin@recology.com. A residential account gets four free collections a year, each covering one large item or up to seven bags, the account must be in your name, and each item must be 60 pounds or less with nothing longer than six feet.Official guidance
Which hazardous waste facility serves Novato?+
Novato has its own facility at 7576 Redwood Blvd, open four days a month, two Sundays and two Mondays, with no appointment needed for residents. The county facility in San Rafael is published for Marin residents except Novato, so Novato residents stay with the city facility.Official guidance
How do household batteries and sharps get disposed of?+
Household batteries can go in a sealed clear plastic bag on top of the blue recycling cart on collection day so the driver collects them separately, and the district warns never to put batteries inside a curbside container. Sharps go to the household hazardous waste facility in approved containers, and medications go to the Novato Police Department instead.Official guidance
