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.

Electronic waste has its own free pickup category that runs four times a year with unlimited items, and the same items can drop free at the county collection centers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronic waste pickups run four times a year with unlimited items, including televisions, computers, monitors, video recorders, cell phones and speakers, and Orange County residents can also drop household hazardous waste and electronic waste free at the county collection centers.
When & how
Book the electronic waste pickup with CR&R at 877-728-0446 for the regular collection day, or take the items to a county collection center between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Remove sensitive information from any computer, phone or drive before it leaves your hands, because the county states that no destruction of devices happens on site and it is not responsible for lost or misused data.
Every bulky pickup, including electronic waste and universal waste, is scheduled for the regular waste collection day, so the booking is only for a date you already have service. Book with CR&R at 877-728-0446 or through the hauler's online scheduling service, and keep the material inside eight feet in length, four feet in width and 150 pounds.
Batteries other than automobile batteries, thermostats, fluorescent tubes, cathode ray tubes such as televisions and monitors, high intensity and sodium vapor lamps, non-empty aerosol cans, mercury containing items, paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, sharps in a one-way container, fertilizer and used motor oil all go through the free door-to-door household hazardous waste pickup arranged with CR&R at 877-728-0446, or to the county collection center.
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 San Clemente.
How much does TV removal cost in San Clemente?+
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 San Clemente?+
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.
