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.
Dropcurb does not remove TVs from walls or do indoor carrying. Arrange the help you need before pickup day, including the trip down interior stairs or through an elevator.

Choose a permitted outdoor spot.
Use a stable, accessible location with a clear path for loading. Keep the TV separate from anything staying. Check building rules before placing it in a shared pickup area.

Televisions, computers, monitors and cell phones are collected at the curb on Thursday night with the other electronic waste, while small non metal appliances go out with the regular garbage.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route, because the city lists computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones in the Thursday electronic waste stream and publishes no fee for the collection.
When & how
Put the device at the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Thursday night, and leave it for the Friday morning pickup before noon. Lithium ion batteries go out with the electronic waste on the same night.
Get it ready
Wipe or remove the storage from a computer or phone before it goes out, and keep batteries out of the recycling bins, because the city states plainly that no batteries should be in recycling. Alkaline batteries go with regular garbage, lithium ion batteries go with electronic waste, and compact fluorescent bulbs go to a home improvement retailer while incandescent bulbs and lighting fixtures go with the garbage.
Thursday is the metal, yard waste and electronics night
Thursday night carries metal furniture, appliances, yard waste, electronic waste, paper recycling and cardboard, and those streams are collected on Friday morning before noon by crews that are separate from the garbage round. Appliances need their doors removed, electronic waste covers computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones with lithium ion batteries, and yard waste needs separated piles with tied branches, while paper and cardboard have to be dry, flattened and secured.
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.
Hoboken Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Works
Use the Thursday metal and electronic waste round
A Hoboken household with a refrigerator, washer, dryer, stove, air conditioner, televisions, computer or cell phone to dispose of.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route. The city lists these items in the Thursday stream without a per item charge and points to a New Jersey Clean Energy Program rebate that may pay for recycling an old appliance.
Arrange it
Put the item out after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Thursday night and leave it for the Friday morning pickup before noon by the metal and electronics crew.
The metal crew only takes metal furniture and appliances, so a small non metal appliance such as a coffee maker or blender goes with the regular garbage, and every battery has to stay out of the recycling bins.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hoboken.
How much does TV removal cost in Hoboken?+
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 Hoboken?+
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 televisions and computers go in Hoboken?+
To the curb on Thursday night. The city collects computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones as electronic waste on Thursday for the Friday morning round, and lithium ion batteries go out with them. Small non metal appliances such as vacuums, coffee makers, blenders and food processors are separated out and go with the regular garbage, and alkaline batteries also go with garbage.Official guidance
Who do I ask about a Hoboken waste question?+
The recycling coordinator, Dave Calamoneri, at 1501 Madison Street, on (201) 420-2000 extension 1320 or recycling@hobokennj.gov, with counter hours weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Household hazardous waste questions go to the Hudson County Improvement Authority environmental hotline on 201-324-6222 extension 3219.Official guidance
What happens to batteries in Hoboken?+
They never go in recycling, and the city states that plainly. Alkaline batteries can be put out with the regular garbage, lithium ion batteries go out with the electronic waste on Thursday night, and compact fluorescent bulbs should be taken to a home improvement retailer while incandescent bulbs and lighting fixtures go with the garbage.Official guidance
