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.

Electronic devices are accepted for drop-off at the McAllen Recycling Center, and the city page offers that service to residents and non-residents rather than limiting it to city accounts. Electronics do not go in the garbage or recycling carts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city lists e-waste disposal as a drop-off service for residents and non-residents and publishes no fee for it, while compost, mulch and crushed glass are sold at the same site.
When & how
Dropped at the Recycling Center at 4101 N. Bentsen during its open hours, with the information line on 956-681-4050.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before handover, keep the device whole and out of both carts, and ask at the center about any item that is not a computer, monitor, printer or television so the accepted group is clear before the trip. Paper shredding is free at the same site if documents need clearing first.
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.
City of McAllen Public Works, Solid Waste Department and Recycling Center
Drop it at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road
A city resident with furniture, a mattress, carpet, wood, bulky toys, tires within the monthly limit, an appliance or electronics.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The bulky waste drop-off is a city service for residents with no published item fee, and e-waste disposal is offered to residents and non-residents at no published fee. Compost, mulch and crushed glass are sold at the same site.
Arrange it
Take the load to 4101 N. Bentsen Road during the drop-off window and bring a water bill as proof of address.
Residential use only for the bulky drop-off, construction debris, clothes and hazardous waste are refused, tires are limited to five a month for residents, and a refrigerator is taken only with a technician's tag confirming the refrigerant was removed.
Self-hauling in McAllen centres on the Recycling Center at 4101 N. Bentsen Road, which the city keeps as the alternative to driving to the landfill. City residents may use the bulky waste drop-off for furniture including sofas and mattresses, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires limited to five a month, and appliances such as refrigerators, stoves and ovens, with a water bill as proof of address and a technician's tag on a refrigerator to confirm the refrigerant was removed. Electronic devices are taken there from residents and non-residents, and paper shredding is free. Construction debris is refused at the drop-off and in the curbside bulky week, so a project load goes into a city roll-off container instead, arranged through Public Works with the agreement submitted at City Hall. The curbside brush and bulky week still collects the same bulky material from the pile in the section's month, provided it sits at the assigned location with three feet of clearance and clear of mailboxes, hydrants and water meters.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in McAllen.
How much does TV removal cost in McAllen?+
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 McAllen?+
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.
Does McAllen take televisions and computers?+
Electronic devices are accepted for drop-off at the McAllen Recycling Center on Bentsen Road, and the city offers that service to residents and non-residents instead of limiting it to city accounts. Erase personal data before handover, keep the device out of the garbage and recycling carts, and call 956-681-4050 with any question about what the center takes.Official guidance
How do I know when bulky pickup comes to my McAllen address?+
The city publishes a 2026 brush and bulky schedule with the map split into four sections: North East in the first full week of the month, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of that week, and the schedule lists the dated week for every month of the year.Official guidance
What do I need to bring to the McAllen drop-off site?+
A water bill, because the bulky waste drop-off at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road is offered for residential use only. The site takes furniture including sofas and mattresses, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires within the five a month resident limit and appliances, and it accepts electronic devices from residents and non-residents.
