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.

Electronics run on the county calendar rather than the city one. The 2026 Mercer County sheet publishes three hazardous waste and e-waste recycling Saturdays at the Dempster fire training site in Lawrence Township, which is the electronics route published for this address, and the city runs no electronics collection of its own.
City cost & eligibility
The county sheet publishes the event dates, the hours and the site but no fee and no item list, so confirm the device and any charge with the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086 before loading. The city publishes no electronics collection of its own.
When & how
The three published 2026 events are Saturdays in March, June and September, running from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dempster Fire Training School on 350 Lawrence Station Road in Lawrence Township. There is no city electronics collection day, so a device waits for one of those dates or goes to a private recycler.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover. Keep electronics out of the recycling buckets, because the flyer warns that trash placed in recycling buckets is not picked up and recyclables have to be separated from trash under the law. Confirm what the county takes before loading, because the sheet lists the event without an item list.
The flyer states that trash placed in recycling buckets will not be picked up, and that recyclables shall be disposed of separately from trash as a matter of law. Recycling questions go to the Mercer County Improvement Authority rather than the city, and Trenton shares the Wednesday recycling run with Robbinsville under the 2026 county schedule. On a holiday week, recycling that would fall on one of six listed dates moves to the following Saturday.
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.
City of Trenton Division of Solid Waste Management, with Mercer County for recycling and hazardous waste
Use the county hazardous waste and e-waste events
A Trenton household with paint, chemicals, batteries or an obsolete television or computer that cannot go in either curbside stream.
Cost & conditions
The county sheet publishes the three dates, the hours and the site but no fee and no item list, so confirm the material and any charge with the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086 before loading.
Arrange it
Go to one of the three published Saturdays, in March, June and September, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Dempster Fire Training School on 350 Lawrence Station Road in Lawrence Township. Nothing is collected at the curb in the meantime, so the material has to be stored safely between events.
The events run three times a year, which means a gap of months between collection days, and no item list is published on the sheet, so a household cannot assume a particular device or chemical is taken without checking. The city's own household hazardous waste page no longer resolves, so the county is the only route read.
County site for the hazardous waste and e-waste recycling Saturdays
Dempster Fire Training School
350 Lawrence Station Road, Lawrence Township, NJ 08648
The 2026 Mercer County sheet lists this as the site for hazardous waste and e-waste recycling on three Saturdays during the year. The sheet publishes the dates, the hours and the address without an item level list, so the material has to be confirmed with the county before travelling.
The site operates only on the three published event days rather than as a standing drop-off, so material has to be stored safely and cannot be left at the curb in between. The sheet publishes no item list and no fee, and the city's own household hazardous waste page no longer resolves, so both the accepted material and any charge remain confirmations.
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the three published Saturdays in 2026, which fall in March, June and September. Confirm details with the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Trenton.
How much does TV removal cost in Trenton?+
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 Trenton?+
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 go in Trenton?+
To a Mercer County hazardous waste and e-waste recycling event. The 2026 county sheet publishes three Saturdays for them, in March, June and September, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dempster Fire Training School on 350 Lawrence Station Road in Lawrence Township. The city runs no electronics collection of its own, the county sheet publishes no item list or fee, so confirm the device and the details on 609-278-8086 before loading.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Trenton?+
The city Division of Solid Waste Management collects garbage and runs the special pickup for bulk items, which it defines as furniture and household appliances, on 609-989-3175. Curbside recycling is a county service instead, with questions going to the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086 and Trenton sharing the Wednesday run with Robbinsville under the 2026 county schedule. The division office is at 707 Calhoun Street.Official guidance
