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 refused in the blue recycling cart, and the city's flyer sends them to the DPW Yard at 356 Commercial Street for electronic waste recycling. The published fee list prices cathode ray tubes, which the city describes as including televisions and computer monitors, and the yard accepts hazardous items only on the seasonal collection days it schedules.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per cathode ray tube at the DPW Yard, which the city's fee list describes as including televisions and computer monitors, payable in cash on a collection day. Malden residents at the DPW Yard on a designated household hazardous waste collection day. The city page showed no upcoming collection day when this was checked, and other electronic waste is listed without a published rate.
When & how
Electronics are taken at the DPW Yard on a designated hazardous waste collection day rather than on the weekly route. At the time of this check the city's page showed no upcoming hazardous waste day scheduled, so call the Department of Public Works at 781-397-7160 for the next date.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and other electronics out of the blue recycling cart, bring cash because the yard accepts no other payment for these days, and ask about the rate for a flat panel set, because the published line prices cathode ray tubes while other electronic waste carries no listed price.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Malden.
How much does TV removal cost in Malden?+
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 Malden?+
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 old televisions and computers go in Malden?+
The recycling cart refuses electronics and the city's flyer points them to the DPW Yard at 356 Commercial Street for electronic waste recycling. The yard takes them on its designated hazardous waste collection days, publishes a per-unit fee for cathode ray tubes described as televisions and computer monitors, takes cash only, and showed no upcoming collection day when this was checked.Official guidance
Can I still drop items at the Malden DPW Yard?+
Partly. The city alert says the yard is closed to dumping Monday through Friday during the Malden River Works construction period and that yard waste only may be dropped on Saturdays, and the yard waste page publishes a Saturday window as well. Household hazardous waste and electronics are taken only on the designated collection days the city schedules, and the page showed no upcoming day when this was checked, so call 781-397-7160 before making the trip.Official guidance
