A day to get it gone.

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.

Electronics are barred from the landfill by state law and go to the city drop-off at Public Works instead of the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No fee is published for the e-waste drop-off, which accepts computers, monitors, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, phones, cameras, stereo equipment and anything that plugs in, because South Carolina law bars these items from any waste stream disposed of in a solid waste landfill.
When & how
Take the items to City of Columbia Public Works at 2910 Colonial Drive, open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and note the GPS advice to enter 3000 Harden St. for the location.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the roll cart and the yard trimmings pile, clear personal data before handover, and expect heavy truck traffic early in the morning and after 3:30 p.m.
Electronics, bulbs and batteries go to the city drop-off, not the curb
South Carolina law bars computers, monitors, printers and televisions from any waste stream disposed of in a landfill, so electronics are not accepted curbside and go to the Public Works building at 2910 Colonial Drive, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., where computers, monitors, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, phones, cameras, stereo equipment and anything that plugs in are taken along with bulbs, string lights and all non-leaking batteries. Tires go to Richland County, free up to five standard car or truck tires per resident at 1070 Caughman Road North, and used motor oil has more than twenty city drop-off locations.
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 Columbia.
How much does TV removal cost in Columbia?+
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 Columbia?+
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 Columbia televisions and computers go?+
To the City of Columbia Public Works building at 2910 Colonial Drive, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., because South Carolina law bars computers, monitors, printers and televisions from any waste stream disposed of in a landfill and electronics are not accepted curbside. The drop-off takes computers, monitors, televisions, VCRs, DVD players, phones, cameras, stereo equipment and anything that plugs in, with bulbs and non-leaking batteries accepted at the same location.Official guidance
