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.

SPSA lists monitors and televisions among the electronics it accepts at household hazardous waste and e-waste drop-offs, while Chesapeake Recycles Day events refuse tube televisions.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. SPSA service area resident with a driver's license or proof of residence, bringing household quantities in a personal vehicle.
When & how
Take televisions to the Chesapeake Transfer Station at 901 Hollowell Lane on the first Wednesday or third Saturday of the month, 9 a.m. to noon, or to a Chesapeake Recycles Day event.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a smart set before drop-off and keep the visit within the e-waste limit of 5 items per day. Confirm the screen type before loading, because a tube television is turned away from Chesapeake Recycles Day events.
Request the collection before anything goes out, keep household items in a pile separate from yard debris, and stay inside one 4-foot by 4-foot by 10-foot household stack per week. Tape glass surfaces, remove refrigerator and freezer doors, and leave small debris that fits a bag to the resident after the truck has passed.
Bring proof of residency and a personal vehicle or a trailer up to 12 feet with no tools or equipment. Loose yard waste has to be bagged, rigid items must be no longer than 6 feet and 6 inches in diameter, and the load is screened for unauthorized waste at the station.
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.

Chesapeake Recycles Day
A Chesapeake resident bringing personal items only; material in a business-labeled vehicle is refused.
Cost & conditions
The city does not publish an event fee, so confirm the current date and item limits before loading.
Arrange it
Attend a scheduled event, most often a Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon, and expect a line that can close early when vendors reach capacity.
Events take electronics, household hazardous waste and sensitive documents. Plastic bags, tires and tube televisions are refused, and only sensitive personal documents are shredded.
Monitors and televisions are on the e-waste list the station collects at its household hazardous waste and e-waste drop-off.
Proof of residency is required and the drop-off counts against the 12 free residential visits each calendar year, with later visits billed by weight, and commercial and rental-property waste is refused. Bring the set to the first Wednesday or third Saturday window between 9 a.m. and noon, within the 5-item e-waste limit, and travel in an unmarked, unmodified personal vehicle. Confirm the screen type with SPSA before loading, because a tube television is refused at the city's Recycles Day events.
Monday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Chesapeake residents only; Saturday 8 a.m. to noon for all SPSA residents and noon to 4 p.m. Chesapeake residents only; Sunday noon to 4 p.m. Chesapeake residents only; household hazardous waste and e-waste the first Wednesday and third Saturday 9 a.m. to noon

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Chesapeake.
How much does TV removal cost in Chesapeake?+
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 Chesapeake?+
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.
Can I recycle a television in Chesapeake?+
A television cannot go in the city trash cart or a recycling container. SPSA takes monitors and televisions at the household hazardous waste and e-waste drop-off at the Chesapeake Transfer Station on the first Wednesday and third Saturday of the month, 9 a.m. to noon, with a limit of 5 items per day. Confirm the screen type before hauling it, because Chesapeake Recycles Day events refuse tube televisions.Official guidance
Why does a Chesapeake pickup depend on which program serves the address?+
Chesapeake is an independent city, and the City Waste Management Division collects from the residences it serves rather than from a surrounding county. A residence outside that service area, or a building whose waste is handled privately, has to use the SPSA transfer stations instead, and those sites serve member-community residents with proof of residency.Official guidance
Where can I take something the city will not collect?+
Homeowner remodeling material, tires and large metal loads go to an SPSA transfer station or the Regional Landfill in Suffolk. Household hazardous waste and electronics go to the Chesapeake Transfer Station on the first Wednesday or third Saturday of the month, and the city's Recycles Day events take the same material on scheduled Saturdays.Official guidance
