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 recyclable material that may not be buried, so it goes to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill, where up to five e-waste items are accepted free. A bulky device such as a printer or a television needs a call ahead so the site can confirm space.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free for up to five electronic waste items at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill, 2065 East Main Street, Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. A bulky electronic item such as a printer or television should be confirmed by phone first, and abandoning electronic waste anywhere else is illegal disposal of hazardous waste.
When & how
Drive the devices to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and call 805-925-0951 extension 7270 first if the item is bulky such as a printer or a television.
Get it ready
Keep electronic waste out of the carts and off the curb, because California and the city treat abandoned electronics as illegal disposal of hazardous waste, and wipe personal data before handover.
Load the vehicle in the order the Recycling Park asks for
The Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Recycling Park sits ahead of the trash face so recyclable material can be sorted instead of buried. The city asks drivers to load in this order from the cab backwards: construction and demolition material, green waste, scrap metal, appliances, mattresses, tires, cardboard, electronic waste, organics, commingled recyclables and concrete last. State law requires recyclable and organic material to be separated from the trash before arrival, and an unsorted load can be charged the posted hard to handle rate.
The hazardous waste drop has its own days and limits
The Household Hazardous Waste Facility is at the same address, on the immediate left after the main gate, and it opens for residents free on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each trip is limited to 15 gallons of liquid waste or 125 pounds of dry waste, containers have to have properly fitting lids and be no larger than five gallons each, material must not be combined within a container, and the load has to be packed so nothing can tip, spill or break in transit. Household chemicals, paint, batteries, bulbs, propane tanks and sharps are refused in the trash and in the carts.
The city publishes two lists of material the landfill will not bury. Recyclable material has to be sorted and taken to the Recycling Park, and it covers electronics, glass, construction and demolition debris including drywall, cement and asphalt, metals, organic waste, paper and cardboard, plastics, and the other group of whole tires, white goods and appliances, and mattresses. Hazardous material goes only to the household hazardous waste facility, and it covers automotive fluids, batteries, chemicals and cleaning products, compressed cylinders such as propane, helium and fire extinguisher tanks, fluorescent lights and mercury items, garden chemicals, paints, pool and hobby supplies, sharps and printer cartridges.
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 household that would rather have a large item collected than load a vehicle and drive to the landfill.

TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Santa Maria.
How much does TV removal cost in Santa Maria?+
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 Santa Maria?+
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?+
