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.

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.

Electronic waste is excluded from the recycling stream and referred to designated facilities that the city does not name.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that electronic waste does not belong in the recycling stream and belongs at designated e-waste facilities, but it names no facility, so confirm the location and any charge with Public Works at 337-491-1220 before loading the car.
When & how
Call the Public Works helpline at 337-491-1220 to find the designated e-waste facility that serves Lake Charles addresses, and keep the devices out of the Green Truck stops until then.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, computers and other electronics out of the recycling stream and out of the garbage container, which takes bagged kitchen and household waste, and clear personal data before handover.
Building materials, tires and hazardous waste stay off the curb
Under the city ordinance, building materials such as roofing, concrete, plaster, wallpaper, earth and trees from construction, repair or remodeling on private property are not collected and the owner must have them privately removed. Tires and automobile parts are not collected from residences and go to a dealer licensed by the Department of Environmental Quality, hazardous waste such as toxic materials, paint and medical waste needs a commercial hauler because the city is not authorized or equipped to handle it, and contracted tree removal debris is not eligible for the yard waste route.
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 Lake Charles Public Works Solid Waste Division

A household with paper, cardboard, number 1 and 2 plastics, metal cans or clean packaging, or electronics that need a designated facility.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lake Charles.
How much does TV removal cost in Lake Charles?+
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 Lake Charles?+
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 Lake Charles televisions and computers go?+
Not in the recycling stream. The city lists electronic waste among the items not accepted for recycling and tells residents to take it to designated e-waste facilities, without naming one, so call the Public Works helpline at 337-491-1220 and confirm the facility and any charge before loading the car.Official guidance
