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.

Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

Small electronics go in the black barrel, an item too big for the barrel needs a special pickup, and anything with a rechargeable battery that cannot be removed goes to a county drop-off instead.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no rate for the special pickup it sends when an electronic item will not fit in the barrel, so confirm the trip and any charge with the operations line. Electronics that fit ride with the regular garbage the monthly utility bill already covers.
When & how
Electronics that fit go in the black barrel on the regular collection day. A special pickup for an oversized item is arranged through the operations line at (727) 562-4920.
Get it ready
Put household electronics in the black barrel trash can and not on the ground, and use the shared dumpster at an apartment or condominium complex. Remove a rechargeable battery where it comes out and put the rest of the device in the trash. Where the battery cannot be removed, take the item to a drop-off found through the county Where Does It Go? search tool, and never put a device with a rechargeable battery in the garbage or recycling because it can cause a fire when it is compressed in a collection truck. Working electronics can also be donated or taken to a take-back program.
The City asks residents to call ahead when an appliance or electronic equipment needs to be picked up, so the crew knows the item is coming and it is not missed on the scheduled route. The operations line is (727) 562-4920, and it also handles a missed pickup or a question about whether a particular item belongs in the bulk pile.
Household chemicals go free to the county household hazardous waste program, with the north county site in Clearwater taking select Saturdays and the main center in St. Petersburg open during the week. Construction, remodeling and demolition material goes to the county disposal complex at 3095 114th Avenue North in St. Petersburg, where it is charged by the ton or at a flat rate depending on the vehicle, and the county Where Does It Go? search tool lists the rest.
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.
City of Clearwater Solid Waste and Recycling Department
Special pickup for a large appliance or electronic item
A Clearwater household whose appliance or electronic item is too large for the black barrel and will not ride with the ordinary weekly route.
Cost & conditions
The City publishes no rate for the special pickup it sends for an oversized item, so confirm the trip and any charge with the operations line before the item goes out.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Operations Line at (727) 562-4920 ahead of the collection day so the pickup is recorded, then have the item at the curb by 7 a.m.
The City asks for the call ahead for appliances and electronic equipment specifically. A device whose rechargeable battery cannot be removed still has to go to a county drop-off rather than into the trash or the special pickup.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Clearwater.
How much does TV removal cost in Clearwater?+
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 Clearwater?+
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 small electronics go in Clearwater?+
In the black barrel trash can rather than on the ground beside it, and in the shared city dumpster if you live in an apartment or condominium complex. Anything too big for the barrel is requested as a special pickup instead of being left loose.Official guidance
What happens to a device with a rechargeable battery?+
If the battery can be removed, take it out and place the rest of the device in the trash. If it cannot be removed, the item has to go to a drop-off location found through the county Where Does It Go? search tool, because items with rechargeable batteries must never go in the garbage or recycling bins.Official guidance
Who handles trash collection in the city?+
The City of Clearwater Solid Waste and Recycling Department, which runs residential garbage collection once a week for single family homes along with commercial collection, private hauler permits and recovered material dealer permits. The department office is at 1701 N. Hercules Ave., the operations and services line is (727) 562-4920 and new service and billing is (727) 562-4600.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day?+
Use the City collection schedule finder linked from the residential trash page, which also carries the holiday schedule. Trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk items are all collected on that same service date, and a missed pickup is reported to the operations line.Official guidance
What is the yearly bulky limit for a Clearwater home?+
Each single family home is allowed up to 40 cubic yards of bulk collection per calendar year, and multi-family units carry the same allowance. About four to five furniture sized pieces is treated as an appropriate curbside load, and the City says larger amounts may be subject to additional time charges it does not publish.Official guidance
Can residents pick up free mulch?+
Yes. Weed free mulch is available at no charge to Clearwater residents at the Solid Waste and Recycling Complex at 1701 N. Hercules Ave., and the department publishes the pickup details on its own page.Official guidance
How do holidays affect collection?+
The City publishes a separate holiday collection schedule for trash and recycling and asks residents to check it rather than assume the regular day. Collection days otherwise stay the same through the year, and the same weekly service date carries trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk items.Official guidance
