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.

Novi lists televisions, computers, cameras, radios and similar electronics as regular trash, so they can go out with the household refuse or to a household hazardous waste event.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Novi residential addresses, where the refuse fee includes collection of household material. Household electronics only, because commercial loads are not part of the residential program.
When & how
Electronics ride the regular refuse day. Household hazardous waste events, which also accept electronic waste, run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on published Saturdays.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the recycling cart and away from the recycling drop-off sites, where the City and the authority both refuse them. Take the item to the curb with the rest of the refuse, or hold it for a hazardous waste event.
Any household item too large for the cart is handled individually as a bulk item, and extra refuse goes out in another container no larger than 35 gallons.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Novi residential addresses, where the refuse fee covers bulk item collection along with trash, recycling and yard waste. Household material only, prepared inside the published container and weight limits.
When & how
Out by 7 a.m. on the regular collection day. Bulk items ride the regular refuse day, and a courtesy call to Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 helps the driver prepare.
Get it ready
Keep every container and its contents under 60 pounds, use the provided cart, refuse bags or watertight containers with tight lids and lifting handles no larger than 35 gallons, break cardboard down to no more than three feet by two feet, and leave three feet between each cart. Refuse that cannot be handled individually needs another route.
Trash, recycling and bulky items must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and carts should be back in by that evening. When an observed holiday falls on or before your collection day, service is one day behind for the rest of that week.
City ordinance keeps bins off the curb until 24 hours before the collection day, and receptacles have to be removed within 12 hours after collection. Keep containers where they do not create a nuisance for neighbors.
Bulk items ride the regular collection day instead of a booked appointment. The City asks for a courtesy call to Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 so the driver can be prepared, and missed collections are reported to Priority Waste as well.
Refuse goes out in the provided cart, refuse bags or watertight containers with tight fitting lids and lifting handles, no larger than 35 gallons, and no single container and its contents over 60 pounds. Items that will not fit a container are handled individually when they meet the same limits.
Paint, chemicals, liquids, motor oil, car batteries, propane tanks and other hazardous material never go in a cart, in a refuse bag or at a recycling drop-off site. Take them to a RRRASOC household hazardous waste event, or to the hazardous waste drop-off in Livonia on a weekday.
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.

Novi households with furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, small construction loads, bagged refuse or other bulky household material that meets the published limits.

RRRASOC household hazardous waste and e-waste events
Novi households with televisions, computers, monitors, batteries, motor oil, oil based paint, fluorescent bulbs or other hazardous material that cannot go in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The authority does not publish a fee for household hazardous waste collection events, and the events are limited to residents of the member communities with residency verified. Confirm the current schedule and any charge before loading.
Arrange it
Read the current event schedule, bring proof of Novi residency, and attend on a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. A Novi event at the Department of Public Works on 26300 Lee BeGole Drive was on the published schedule when this guide was checked.
Member community residents only, and commercial, radioactive and explosive material is refused. Household appliances, dehumidifiers and air conditioners are not part of the electronics stream, weekday events are hazardous waste only, and shredding and Simple Recycling run at Saturday events.
A Novi household that cannot wait for a collection event and needs a weekday route for hazardous material such as paint, solvents, fuel, batteries and bulbs.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The authority publishes the drop-off as free for RRRASOC member community residents on days when there is no collection event. Home pickup by the same company is a separate paid service arranged directly with the company.
Arrange it
Bring hazardous material to 13040 Merriman Road in Livonia. The authority publishes walk-in hours for member community residents on non-event days, Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in its winter hours, with no fee; the city page adds that a resident who cannot attend a listed event or needs a route in between events can call RRRASOC or Environmental Recycling Group on 734-437-9650 to arrange an appointment, so confirm the current hours, the item and, if going between events, the appointment before loading the vehicle.
Weekday hours only, member community residents only, and commercial waste is refused. Electronics and household appliances are separate streams and go to a household hazardous waste collection event rather than this weekday drop-off, so ask about the exact item and the next event date on 734-437-9650 before loading the vehicle.
Televisions, monitors, disc players and similar screens are accepted with the electronic waste at the authority's household hazardous waste collection events, where member community residents may bring e-waste; confirm the next event date before loading.
Member community residents only, no commercial waste, and household appliances, dehumidifiers and air conditioners are not part of the electronics stream. The weekday Livonia drop-off is for hazardous material, so screens belong at a collection event and the current hours and accepted items should be confirmed by phone first.
Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on non-event days, with holiday closures posted by the authority. Confirm before loading.
No charge. The authority publishes the household hazardous waste and electronics collection events as free for member community residents, and the weekday drop-off is free for hazardous material on non-event days. Home pickup is a separate paid service.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Novi.
How much does TV removal cost in Novi?+
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 Novi?+
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.
