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 is refused in the curbside clean-up week and at the city's multi-family collection day, and it is handled as household hazardous waste at the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Jacoby Street.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free household hazardous waste disposal for Marin County residents at the Jacoby Street facility, with proof of residency and a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
When & how
Take the device to 565 Jacoby Street in San Rafael during residential hours, Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday and on the listed holidays.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of every cart and out of the clean-up pile, pack materials in boxes lined with newspaper rather than garbage bags, keep products in their original containers, and do not mix materials. Bring proof of Marin County residency such as a photo identification, a recent tax document or a utility bill.
The twice yearly clean-up week takes bags, not bulky items
Curbside clean-ups run twice a year and the week depends on the town and the billing cycle printed on the bill. During that week up to 14 bags, about two cubic yards, of garbage, recycling and compostables go out at no extra cost on the normal service day, with bags or cans capped at 60 pounds and 32 gallons, yard waste in paper bags and no plastic, and extra recycling in a container or small cardboard box. Mattresses, appliances, furniture, hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, light bulbs, paint, dirt, rock and construction material are all refused.
One trip to the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility may carry 15 gallons of liquid or 125 pounds combined liquid and dry weight, with latex paint and motor oil allowed up to a combined 20 gallons, and no container larger than five gallons or heavier than 50 pounds. Keep products in original containers, pack them in boxes lined with newspaper rather than garbage bags, do not mix materials, and bring proof of Marin County residency such as a photo identification, a recent tax document or a utility bill.
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 Rafael.
How much does TV removal cost in San Rafael?+
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 Rafael?+
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.
