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.

Electronics are refused in the Apex bulk collection and prohibited in the garbage cart, and the town's own recycling page sends them to Wake County instead. The South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex takes any corded electronic device, naming computers, game consoles, printers, copiers, small appliances, audio and video players and televisions.
City cost & eligibility
The town publishes no electronics charge because its own collection refuses them, and Wake County publishes no fee on the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility page, so confirm the current terms on 919-856-7400 before you load.
When & how
The county facility is open Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm to Wake County residents and businesses. The convenience centers take electronics at Sites 1, 4 and 11 only, and only on weekends.
Get it ready
Keep the device and its cord together, wipe a computer or phone before it leaves the house, and keep electronics out of the garbage cart, the recycling cart and the bulk pile, where the town refuses them.
Wake County runs its South Wake sites on consecutive addresses along Old Smithfield Road inside the town, which covers most of what Apex refuses at the curb: 6130 for appliances, electronics and scrap metal, 6150 for household hazardous waste, paints, batteries and propane, and 6160 for up to 5 scrap tires free from residents, all open Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm. The convenience center at 6120 adds mattresses and homeowner construction debris and runs daily from 7 am to 7 pm, and none of the four pages publishes a fee.
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 Apex.
How much does TV removal cost in Apex?+
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 Apex?+
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 in the trash in Apex?+
No. Electronics including televisions are on the town's list of items the bulk collection will not take, and electronics are prohibited in the garbage cart. The route is Wake County: the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex accepts any corded electronic device, including televisions, computers, printers and copiers, Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and recycling in Apex?+
