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.

A television can go to the county scales for a published price but it has to arrive intact, and the county notes that televisions and monitors are free at RE-ACT.
City cost & eligibility
$40 per television at the Chemung County Lake Street scales, with a computer monitor at a lower published price on the same item list. The unit must be intact, because the county does not accept broken electronic waste. The county item list states that both televisions and monitors are free at RE-ACT, so ask the county office for the RE-ACT drop off details before paying at the scales.
When & how
Take the television or monitor to the Lake Street scales at 1690 Lake Street in Elmira during its open hours, or ask the county about the free RE-ACT drop off first.
Get it ready
Keep the screen and casing intact, because a broken television or monitor is refused, and keep the device out of the bagged household trash and the recycling box, since New York treats covered electronic equipment as its own stream.
The county requires all loads to be fully tarped and tied down, and an un-tarped load is rejected at the scale. At the scale trailer the attendant asks what kind of material is being delivered, so the load should be sorted into municipal solid waste, construction and demolition material, mixed, or recyclables before the vehicle reaches the scale.
The county refuses broken electronic waste, so a television or a computer monitor has to reach the scale in one piece, and the item list states that both are free at the recycler the county names. Ask the county for that drop off before paying the scale price.
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.
Town of Horseheads Highway Department with Chemung County Solid Waste Management
Haul the load to the county scales
For a household with furniture, a mattress, a television or a mixed load that no town crew will collect.

Charged at the scale, with a minimum charge up to 1000 pounds on a load and a per ton rate above that. Every load must be fully tarped, and hazardous material is refused at the site.
Arrange it
Drive to 1690 Lake Street in Elmira during the published scale hours, keep the load tarped, and sort the material so the attendant can apply the right rate.
The site refuses hazardous waste, brush, branches, grass, leaves and Christmas trees, and the item list refuses refrigerant appliances even though the scale sheet publishes a price for them, so those go elsewhere or wait for a call to the county.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Horseheads.
How much does TV removal cost in Horseheads?+
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 Horseheads?+
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 does a television go in Horseheads?+
To the Chemung County Lake Street scales at 1690 Lake Street in Elmira, where a television is priced per unit and has to arrive intact because broken electronic waste is refused, or to the recycler the county names, where the item list says televisions and monitors are free. Ask the county office for that free drop off location, and keep the set out of the bagged household trash.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Horseheads?+
No town crew does. The Town of Horseheads Highway Department publishes the refuse documents and its organic material notice states that the town does not pick up or dispose of that material, so residents hire one of the local haulers the town lists or take loads to the Chemung County facilities. The county runs the drop-off stations for bagged trash and recyclables and the Lake Street scales for everything larger.Official guidance
What does the county charge at the scales?+
The county prices single items, including a couch or davenport, a stuffed chair, a mattress, a television, a computer monitor, tires and small items, and charges loads by weight with a minimum up to 1000 pounds and a per ton rate above that, splitting municipal solid waste, construction and demolition material and mixed loads into different rates. Hazardous waste is refused rather than priced, and the town sets no hauling rate because providers negotiate their own.Official guidance
Is there a free way to get rid of a television?+
The county item list names one: it prices a television and a computer monitor at the Lake Street scales but states that both are free at a local recycler the list calls RE-ACT, and the unit has to be intact because broken electronic waste is not accepted. Ask the county for that drop off location before paying at the scale.Official guidance
