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.

Covered electronics are free to recycle at Metro Central, which is an Oregon E-Cycles location, and a console television can also go out as a bulky item with the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to households at Metro Central under the state E-Cycles programme, limited to seven items per day per person. The hauler route for a console television is charged at the city bulky item rates instead.
When & how
Take the device to Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland during public hours, or ask WM customer service whether the piece can be collected at the curb as a bulky item.
Get it ready
The covered items at Metro Central are desktop and laptop computers, printers, televisions, monitors, tablets, keyboards and computer mice, and they can arrive intact or broken. These devices have their own state recycling programme, so they do not belong in the garbage or recycling carts.
Anything that does not fit in a cart with the lid closed is a bulky item with its own published rate, and the hauler decides whether it is collected on the regular truck or needs a special collection. Mattresses, appliances, console televisions, furniture and building materials are the examples the hauler names.
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 Troutdale.
How much does TV removal cost in Troutdale?+
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 Troutdale?+
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 can I take a television in Troutdale?+
Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland is an Oregon E-Cycles location and takes televisions free from households, up to seven items a day per person, whether the set works or not. A console television can also be collected at the curb through the hauler's bulky item arrangement.Official guidance
Who handles garbage collection in Troutdale?+
WM collects for the whole city under a franchise agreement, and the city sets the rates for garbage, recycling and yard debris. Households arrange service, extra carts and special pickups with WM customer service on 800-808-5901.Official guidance
When is collection in Troutdale?+
Single family homes have garbage and recycling collected every Thursday, with yard debris on the same weekly service under the basic monthly charge. Collection happens on all holidays except Christmas Day and New Year's Day, and when the collection day falls on or after one of those holidays it shifts one day later that week.Official guidance
What does a bulky item pickup cost?+
The city publishes a rate for a bulky item collected on the regular garbage truck, a higher rate for a special collection of the first item and a lower rate for each additional item, with refrigeration adding cost for appliances. The Metropolitan tip fee is added to bulky items and refrigerated appliances at market price, so ask WM for the total when the pickup is booked.Official guidance
