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.

Televisions and monitors are refused in the curbside bulky collection and go to the Bartholomew County program, which charges a flat fee per television or monitor.
City cost & eligibility
$20 per television or computer monitor brought to the county Recycling Center or Landfill. The Bartholomew County district charges $20 for all televisions and computer monitors at either site, under its residential electronics recycling program, which is registered with Indiana's electronic waste program. Residential material only, with no business electronic waste accepted.
When & how
Take the devices to the Columbus/Bartholomew Recycling Center at 720 S. Mapleton Street, open Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or to the Bartholomew County Landfill at 811 E. CR 450 S., open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with the backside closing at 1:00 p.m. A projection television should go to the landfill because of space limits at the recycling center.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and screens out of the curbside bulky pile entirely, because the City names them as non-qualifying. Most items with a cord or computer related electronics are accepted, while items primarily of glass, ceramic or wood and any cannibalized item are refused.
The curbside allowance is up to two pieces of furniture, up to two appliances and up to 20 bags or boxes of trash. Televisions, monitors and screens, carpeting, lumber, shingles, concrete, fencing, construction and remodeling debris, and clean-outs beyond 20 bags are refused, and a load like that is the property owner's responsibility through a private hauler.
The Columbus/Bartholomew Recycling Center on Mapleton Street and the Bartholomew County Landfill on CR 450 S. accept residential electronic waste with a flat charge for televisions and monitors, refrigerant containing appliances by the unit, tires on a published fee schedule, used motor oil with nothing mixed in, and scrap metal, and the recycling center also hosts the Tox-Away household hazardous waste program. Both sites serve Bartholomew County residents only.
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 Columbus.
How much does TV removal cost in Columbus?+
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 Columbus?+
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 Columbus?+
To the Bartholomew County recycling center on Mapleton Street or the county landfill on CR 450 S., which both accept residential electronic waste. Televisions and computer monitors carry a flat per unit charge, and televisions, monitors and screens are specifically refused in the City's curbside bulky collection.Official guidance
What electronic items does the county accept?+
The partial list covers computers and their accessories, office equipment such as fax machines, copiers, desk phones, cell phones, modems, shredders and battery chargers, household appliances from microwaves and toasters to vacuum sweepers, corded power tools, and other appliances such as treadmills and fans. Items primarily of glass, ceramic or wood, and cannibalized items, are refused.Official guidance
How does the Columbus trash program work?+
The City Sanitation Department runs an automated toter program, with trash and yard waste collected weekly and recycling every other week on the same trash day. Trash has to be bagged inside the toter, toters go out by 7 a.m. and come back within 24 hours, and anything that does not fit needs a special pickup request through the CurbCycle app or 812-376-2509.Official guidance
What is the fastest way to clear out a house in Columbus?+
Set out up to two pieces of furniture, two appliances and 20 bags or boxes and request a curbside pickup, then use the county sites for the rest. Televisions and monitors go to the county program for a flat charge, refrigerant appliances and tires are charged by the unit at the landfill, household hazardous waste goes to Tox-Away, and a clean-out larger than the limits or any construction debris goes to a private hauler.Official guidance
How do I get a yard waste toter?+
Sign up through the City's yard waste program online or by calling the Department of Public Works at 812-376-2509, and pay before the toter is delivered. The 2026 routes run from March 16 through December 11, and the City does not publish the toter price on the page read here, so ask when signing up.Official guidance
Where do tires go?+
To the Bartholomew County Landfill, which charges per tire. Car and light truck tires are 3 dollars without a rim and 5 dollars with one, truck tires 19.5 inch and up are 14 dollars without a rim and 26 dollars with one, floaters are 22 and 36 dollars, and a farm tractor tire is 50 dollars.Official guidance
Can I get compost from the yard waste program?+
Yes. Yard waste collected in the city program is composted at the Bartholomew County Yard Waste site, and residents can pick up compost at the Bartholomew County Recycling Center, either self serve or loaded for a fee. Households that skip the toter program can take yard waste to the compost site at the Department of Public Works, bringing their bags home after they are emptied.Official guidance
