A day to get it gone.

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 are not part of curbside service in Decatur. The city points residents to the Macon County Environmental Management Agency, which frequently holds collections for items that are not accepted curbside, such as paint and certain electronics.
City cost & eligibility
The city names the county agency as the route for paint and certain electronics but publishes no date, location or fee for those collections, so confirm the next collection with the Macon County Environmental Management Agency before holding material for it.
When & how
Watch for a Macon County Environmental Management Agency collection, which the city also advertises through the free Recycle Coach app calendar, and keep the device out of the carts until then.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, computers and other devices out of the garbage and recycling carts and off the bulky pile, wipe personal data before handover, and check the Recycle Coach calendar or the county agency for the next collection date.
Yard waste goes out in any combination of biodegradable bags, stick bundles and privately owned containers marked yard waste only, with stickers available at the Civic Center box office in the main lobby, the second floor cashier windows and the Community Development Department on the third floor. Recycling reaches single-family homes and residences with up to six units, the assigned hauler runs the weekly collection, and the recycling fee is assessed on the water bill, with properties that do not use city water billed quarterly. If a recycling problem is not resolved with the hauler, the city may help at 217-424-2727.
Paint and electronics wait for a county collection
Decatur publishes no drop-off facility for this address and no household hazardous waste site, and the material the curbside programme will not take goes to collections run by the Macon County Environmental Management Agency, which the city describes as frequently holding collections for items not accepted curbside such as paint and certain electronics. The county agency site could not be read for this run, so the packet names the agency and the Recycle Coach calendar rather than an address, hour or fee that has not been verified.
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 Decatur licensed private haulers, with collections by the Macon County Environmental Management Agency
Add the residential recycling cart
A single-family household or a building of up to six units that needs the weekly recycling collection.
Cost & conditions
$2.5 per month for residential recycling service, assessed on the water bill, with properties that do not use city water billed quarterly. Residential customers in single family homes and in residences with up to six units. Contact the assigned hauler for the cart.
Arrange it
Ask the assigned hauler for the recycling cart, and let the water bill carry the monthly assessment or the quarterly bill where the property is not on city water.
The collection is run by the assigned hauler rather than the city, and the city can only assist after the resident has contacted the hauler first.

Watch for a Macon County collection
A household holding paint, chemicals or an electronic device that the curbside programme will not take.
Cost & conditions
The city names the Macon County Environmental Management Agency collections but publishes no schedule, site or fee for them, so confirm the next collection with the agency or the Recycle Coach calendar before storing material for it.
Arrange it
Check the county agency or the Recycle Coach app calendar for the next collection, then deliver the material on the published date.
The route is a county collection rather than a permanent city drop-off, so the dates vary, and the city publishes no address, hours or fee for it.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Decatur.
How much does TV removal cost in Decatur?+
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 Decatur?+
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 Decatur televisions and computers go?+
Not in the curbside carts. The city points to the Macon County Environmental Management Agency, which frequently holds collections for items that are not accepted curbside such as paint and certain electronics, and the city also promotes the free Recycle Coach app, whose calendar carries local recycling events. The city publishes no date, place or fee for those collections, so check with the county agency or the app calendar before holding a device for one.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Decatur?+
A private hauler the city licenses and assigns to each address, not a city crew. The city prints the contact numbers for GFL at 217-935-5652, Waste Management at 800-796-9696, Jeremy Doolin Disposal at 217-422-5298, Doolin Disposal at 217-423-1680 and Murrell's Disposal at 217-519-0910, and it sets what the service package has to include, from the weekly carts to five bulky collections a year. The city can assist with a recycling problem at 217-424-2727 once the resident has contacted the hauler first.Official guidance
Where does paint go in Decatur?+
To a collection run by the Macon County Environmental Management Agency, which the city describes as frequently holding collections for items that are not accepted curbside such as paint and certain electronics. Decatur publishes no city household hazardous waste programme or drop-off site, so keep paint and chemicals out of the garbage, recycling and yard waste containers and confirm the next county collection with the agency or the Recycle Coach app calendar.Official guidance
