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 is a covered device under the state electronics law and is taken free at the county Transfer Station, or as a booked bulk item for a borough household.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority offers a free drop-off for residents, and covered devices include televisions; a Borough of State College refuse account can also request a television as a bulk item, because the borough accepts electronic devices only as a bulk item collection and sends them to the authority.
When & how
Take the set to the Transfer Station on Transfer Road during the Monday to Saturday electronics drop-off hours of 8am to 4pm, go through Gate 1 to the scale house, or book it on the borough bulk run through 814-234-7135.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and dry, wipe anything that stores data, keep the remote and cords with the set, and never put a television in the refuse cart, because covered devices cannot be disposed of as refuse.
One cart, one day, refuse, organics and recycling together
State College residential refuse runs Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on the address, with the day set when the account is opened through the Borough Finance Department. Refuse, organics and the red-bin recycling all come on the same collection day, the cart goes to the curb by 7 a.m. with the lid closed and three feet of clearance from trees, signs and other carts, and anything that does not fit goes beside the Borough cart in a container. Loose or fine waste such as ashes, plastic wrap, pet hair, kitty litter, tissues and packing peanuts has to be bagged, while larger items such as pizza boxes and lumber scraps can go straight in the cart. Carts come back off the street the same day, and residents who leave them out are subject to a fine.
What the borough will not take, and where it goes instead
Building materials, tree limbs and any part of a bulk load that weighs over 40 pounds or is too large to handle are refused. Limbs can go to the Borough Recycling and Compost Facility, building materials to the Centre County authority, and both cost money. Tires are not collected either: they may go to the Centre County Transfer Station at cost, or to the Borough Maintenance Facility by prior arrangement on 234-7135, and the borough will remove them at cost only if no private arrangement can be made. Electronics cannot be disposed of as refuse at all and must reach the county authority, which takes covered devices free.
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 State College.
How much does TV removal cost in State College?+
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 State College?+
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 State College?+
To the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority, where covered devices such as televisions, desktop computers, monitors, laptops and computer peripherals are taken from residents free of charge, Monday to Saturday 8am to 4pm, through Gate 1 to the scale house. A borough household can also request the television as a bulk item, because the borough accepts electronic devices only as a bulk collection and sends them to the authority.Official guidance
