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.

Large electronics, including televisions, are collected as bulk items on a requested Thursday, and the disposal center takes large televisions as a standard bulk item.
City cost & eligibility
$33 for the first bulk item on a scheduled Thursday collection, with each additional item at $16.50. City of Lansing households, with the pickup requested and paid before it is scheduled.
When & how
Request and pay for the Thursday bulk pickup, then have the screen at the curb on that day.
Get it ready
A television that no longer fits in the blue trash cart with the lid closed is handled as one bulk item. Small electronics that fit in the cart are not part of the bulk service.
Bulk items are only picked up on Thursdays, and only after the pickup is requested and paid for. If the item is not at the curb on the Thursday the work order names, it may have to wait until the following Thursday.
Nothing is scheduled until the payment is made. After the bulk item form is submitted, watch for the email with the payment and pickup instructions, then pay online, by mailed check, in person at the Treasurer's Office in City Hall, or on the automated phone line.
The City's ordinance puts containers in the right-of-way no earlier than 4:00 p.m. the day before collection and expects them back off the right-of-way by 7:00 a.m. the day after. Plan a bulk item for the same Thursday window rather than leaving it at the curb all week, because left-out material can draw a fine.
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 Lansing.
How much does TV removal cost in Lansing?+
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 Lansing?+
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.
Can a television go out with the trash cart?+
No. Bulk items are the objects too large to fit in the blue trash cart with the lid closed, and the City lists large electronics among them. They are only collected on a requested, prepaid Thursday.Official guidance

Which day are bulk items collected?+
