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, computers, monitors and other electronics
Special rules apply
Electronic waste does not go in a cart at South San Francisco. The hauler's item table shows two routes: a curbside appointment for computer monitors and electronic items, with fees that may apply, and drop off at Blue Line Transfer, where a monitor that is not cracked or broken carries no added charge while other electronic items carry fees. Cleaning fluids, fertilizers, pesticides and pool chemicals are refused at both and go to the county instead.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler's table says fees may apply to electronic items on both the curbside appointment and at Blue Line Transfer, and a monitor that is not cracked or broken carries no added charge at Blue Line, so confirm the item and any fee with the hauler at (650) 589-4020 before it is set out or delivered.
When & how
Call (650) 589-4020 to schedule a curbside electronic waste appointment, or take the device to Blue Line Transfer at 500 East Jamie Court during the department hours.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of all three carts, keep screens whole and unwrapped from other loads, and wipe personal data before handover.
Household batteries go in a clear zip top bag sealed and placed on top of the lid of the gray garbage cart, with lithium and nine volt ends taped, and cell phones go the same way wrapped in paper. Motor oil goes out in a sealed plastic jug of five quarts or smaller with a five container limit, and oil filters go in a clear zipper lock bag alongside the recycling cart.
Blue Line Transfer takes public loads without an appointment, weighs each vehicle in and out on certified scales, and directs the load to the right area, with separate departments for construction and demolition sorting, for batteries, oil, paint and antifreeze, and for CRV buyback. The site publishes separate hours for those departments, so confirm the hours for the department you need before driving out.
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 South San Francisco.
How much does TV removal cost in South San Francisco?+
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 South San Francisco?+
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 South San Francisco?+
Not in a cart. Computer monitors and other electronic items can be collected curbside by appointment with South San Francisco Scavenger Company at (650) 589-4020, with fees that may apply, or taken to Blue Line Transfer, where a monitor that is not cracked or broken has no added charge and other electronic items carry fees.Official guidance
