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.

Electronics split by condition as well. A working television, computer, monitor or accessory goes out on Reuse Day for donation, while a non-working one is an on-call pickup for an added fee.
City cost & eligibility
The Reuse Day route is at no additional cost for single family homes and the non-working on-call pickup is available for an added fee without a published amount. Confirm the device's route with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711 before it goes out.
When & how
Set a working device out on the Reuse Day mailed to the address, or book the on-call pickup for a non-working television, monitor or computer with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep electronics out of the blue and green carts, and remember household batteries go in a ziplock bag placed on top of the blue recycling cart rather than inside a cart.
Reuse and Cleanup Days are mailed to each address about two weeks ahead and they run twice a year. On Reuse Day, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery collects gently used household items and donates them, which is the route for working furniture, appliances and electronics. Cleanup Day follows the next day and Republic Services takes what does not meet the Reuse Day rules to landfill, with a volume cap of two cubic yards or fourteen 32-gallon bags, no item longer than four feet or wider than 24 inches, and nothing heavier than 50 pounds, with charges possible above those limits.
A household that cannot wait for the next scheduled week has three published on-call options. One landfill clean-up a year covers up to fourteen 32-gallon bags of trash or the equivalent, and recycling or organics clean-ups are available up to four times a year when there is more material than the carts hold. Separately, items such as mattresses, non-working televisions, non-working refrigerators and large furniture are collected on-call for an added fee. All of it is booked with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711, and no single bag or item may weigh more than 50 pounds or run longer than four feet.
Hazardous waste has its own free facility, and carts have strict contents
Household hazardous waste never goes in a cart or a clean-up pile. Residents can use the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez free of charge, and the list includes cooking oil, fluorescent lamps, propane cylinders, car batteries, fertilizers, cleaners and personal care products. The carts are strict in the other direction too: recyclables go loose into the blue cart and are never bagged, the green cart takes food scraps and uncoated food-soiled paper with no plastic of any kind, and household batteries go in a ziplock bag on top of the blue cart.
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 Walnut Creek.
How much does TV removal cost in Walnut Creek?+
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 Walnut Creek?+
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 Walnut Creek?+
A working television, computer, monitor or accessory can be set out on Reuse Day, the pre-scheduled twice-yearly donation day that costs nothing extra for single family homes. A non-working one is collected on-call for an added fee booked with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711. Household batteries go in a ziplock bag on top of the blue recycling cart.Official guidance
