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.

Electronics are refused on the Petaluma bulky pickup, so televisions and computers go to the free county e-waste drop-offs and collection events instead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free e-waste drop-off at County Refuse Disposal Sites and at Zero Waste Sonoma collection events, with no appointment needed at the events. The Petaluma bulky program lists electronics as not accepted.
When & how
Drop electronics at a County Refuse Disposal Site such as the Central Landfill on Mecham Road, or at a county e-waste event, including the annual Petaluma event at Lucchesi Park listed on the county calendar.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the property, and keep batteries out of the load because loose batteries are not accepted as e-waste. Televisions, monitors, computers, printers, microwaves and battery embedded products are on the accepted list.
Send electronics and hazardous material to their own sites
Electronics are refused on the Petaluma bulky pickup and drop free at County Refuse Disposal Sites or county e-waste events, with personal data wiped first. Batteries can go in a sealed bag on top of the recycling cart on the service day, motor oil and filters go out in a hauler supplied kit next to the recycling cart, and paints, chemicals and propane go to the household hazardous waste facility at the Central Disposal Site.
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 Petaluma.
How much does TV removal cost in Petaluma?+
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 Petaluma?+
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.
Where do televisions and computers go in Petaluma?+
Electronics are not accepted on the Petaluma bulky pickup. They are accepted free at County Refuse Disposal Sites and at Zero Waste Sonoma e-waste events, which need no appointment, and the county publishes a Petaluma event at Lucchesi Park on its calendar.Official guidance
Why can electronics not go in the trash?+
The county agency explains that electronic devices contain materials such as lead that render them hazardous waste, and that hazardous waste cannot be disposed of in the garbage. The hauler states it is illegal to put hazardous waste in the garbage or pour it down a drain or gutter.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Petaluma?+
Recology Sonoma Marin is the hauler for Petaluma, with a customer service line at (800) 243-0291 and an office at 1309 Dynamic Street. The City can be reached at (707) 778-4345, and countertop kitchen pails are available at the hauler office and at City Hall.Official guidance
When is street sweeping?+
Street sweeping runs weekly the next business day after the regular collection day, and customers with Friday collection are swept the following Monday. Cars should be moved off the street on sweep day so the sweeper has full access.Official guidance
How do batteries and motor oil go out?+
Household batteries can be placed in a sealed plastic bag on top of the recycling cart on the service day for single family residences, or taken to a participating retailer or government facility. Motor oil and filters go out in a hauler supplied kit placed next to the recycling cart rather than inside it, once the pickup is requested.Official guidance
What electronics are accepted at the county sites?+
Televisions of every screen type, monitors, desktop and laptop computers, printers, copiers, cell phones, microwaves, cables, servers, stereos, tablets and battery embedded products are accepted. Large appliances, loose batteries, lamps and bulbs, fans, gas cylinders, small kitchen appliances, vacuum cleaners, wood encased speakers and exercise or sporting equipment are not.Official guidance
