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.
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.

Add a location photo and access notes after booking. Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. For exposed broken glass or unusual damage, send a photo and check with us before booking.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
No city page names a television or an electronics programme, so the set has to be confirmed before it goes to the curb or the transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no electronics drop-off and no electronics event for televisions, so no free or paid electronics route is claimed. The transfer station does accept items that will not fit in the garbage cart, and the weekly bulk route takes heavy household items, so call Sanitation on 409-797-3630 or the transfer station on 409-741-1258 and confirm where the set should go before moving it.
When & how
Confirm first, then use the regular collection day if the city agrees, or the transfer station on a Monday to Friday between 7:00 AM and 4:45 PM or a Saturday between 7:00 AM and 11:45 AM.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and dry, wipe anything that stores data, keep the remote and cords with the set, and keep paint, gasoline, kerosene, freon, concrete and tires out of the same load because those are refused at the station.
Galveston splits its collection week by area: Monday serves the west end of the island to 7 1/2 Mile Road, Tuesday runs from 7 1/2 Mile Road to the east side of 51st Street, Wednesday covers the west side of 51st Street to the east side of 31st Street, and Thursday runs from the west side of 31st Street to the East End. Carts and materials need to be at the curb no later than 7 AM on the collection day, the cart may go out no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before, and it comes back to its storage space by 10 p.m. on the day of pickup. Questions and cart requests go to Sanitation on 409-797-3630.
Bulk rides the regular truck, and freon units need a red tag first
Heavy items such as appliances, furniture and large piles of tree limbs and brush are collected on the regularly scheduled trash day, set at the curb or in the alley next to the trash cart, and a litter truck is sent through for them rather than a separate appointment. Freon appliances are the exception that stops the truck: the city requires the freon to be removed and tagged by a certified technician and the appliance to be red-tagged before Sanitation will remove it, so the work has to be arranged first and the tag has to be on the unit when it goes out.
The transfer station and the recycle center take what the truck will not
The transfer station at 5515 Harborside Drive is where building materials, roofing materials and items that will not fit the garbage cart go, one trip a month with up to 1,000 pounds, a current water bill and proper identification, and a hard hat and vest worn on site, which the BFI landfill sells if needed. It runs Monday to Friday 7:00 AM to 4:45 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to 11:45 AM, and it refuses combustible materials, compressed aerosol cans that are not empty, concrete, freon, gasoline, kerosene, paint and tires. The recycle center at 702 61st Street takes recyclables around the clock with staff from 8 AM to 4:45 PM, and it takes tires and oils from residents who show proof of residency along with cooking oils and grease. Each April the city adds free bulk pickup by area, free transfer station access from April 15 to 30, a shred day on April 18 and an oil and tire drop-off on April 18 and April 25 with up to five tires per household.
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.

Use the weekly bulk pickup with the trash cart
A Galveston household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or a large pile of limbs and brush that can go beside the cart on the collection day.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Galveston residential accounts, which must carry city trash service, with the bulk material set at the curb or in the alley next to the cart on the regular collection day.
Arrange it
Put the material out by 7 AM on the collection day for the area, and keep the cart itself off the curb until after 5 p.m. the previous day.
Freon appliances need certified removal and a red tag before collection, and paint, gasoline, kerosene, concrete, freon and tires are refused at the transfer station, so they cannot simply be added to a bulk pile.
City of Galveston Public Works Sanitation Division
Haul a load to the Harborside Drive transfer station
A Galveston household with building materials, roofing materials or items too large for the garbage cart that the weekly truck will not take.
Cost & conditions
The station page publishes the allowance and the accepted list but no fee, and the citywide cleanup advertises free transfer station access in April, so call 409-741-1258 to confirm the current cost before the trip.
Arrange it
Go to 5515 Harborside Drive on a Monday to Friday between 7:00 AM and 4:45 PM or a Saturday between 7:00 AM and 11:45 AM with a current water bill, proper identification and a hard hat and vest.
One trip a month and up to 1,000 pounds, with combustible material, non-empty aerosol cans, concrete, freon, gasoline, kerosene, paint and tires all refused.
City of Galveston Public Works Sanitation Division
Use the 61st Street recycle center
A Galveston household with recyclables, cooking oil or grease, or tires and used oils to drop off.
Cost & conditions
The center publishes its address, round the clock drop-off and the residency rule for tires and oils but no fee, so confirm the terms on 409-797-3958 before a special trip.
Arrange it
Drop the material at 702 61st Street, where the site is open 24 hours a day with staff available from 8 AM to 4:45 PM, and bring a driver's licence or other proof of residency for tires and oils.
Residents are required to show proof of residency to deposit tires or oils, the citywide tire event caps households at five tires, and the center named no electronics acceptance, so a device still needs a confirmed route.
Arrange a private hauler for what the city will not take
A household with concrete, tires, paint, kerosene, gasoline or a load above the monthly transfer station allowance.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no private hauling rate, and the refused materials are exactly the ones a hauler has to take, so ask for a quote and confirm the destination before the load leaves the property.
Arrange it
Book a licensed hauler directly, or ask Sanitation on 409-797-3630 where the refused material is supposed to go before arranging the pickup.
Nothing about a hauler load changes the transfer station's refusal of concrete, paint, gasoline, kerosene, freon and tires, and the load still has to reach a permitted site.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Galveston.
How much does TV removal cost in Galveston?+
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 Galveston?+
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 Galveston?+
That has to be confirmed, because no city page names televisions and Galveston publishes no electronics programme. The transfer station on Harborside Drive accepts items that will not fit in the garbage cart, which is where a large set would fall, but it refuses freon, paint, gasoline, kerosene, concrete, tires and combustible material. Call Sanitation on 409-797-3630 or the transfer station on 409-741-1258 before the set leaves the house.Official guidance
What can I take to the transfer station?+
Building materials, roofing materials and items that will not fit in the garbage cart, which covers most of what a cleanout produces. The limits are one trip per month and up to 1,000 pounds, with a current water bill and proper identification, and a hard hat and vest are required on site and sold at the BFI landfill if you do not have them. Concrete, paint, gasoline, kerosene, freon, tires, combustible material and non-empty aerosol cans are refused.Official guidance
