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.

Show us the TV that is going.
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.
Electronics are not named in the bulk policy, the sanitation page, the recycling page or the hazardous waste page, and the city's three recycling drop-offs take only cardboard, plastics numbered one and two, cans, mixed paper and newspaper, so a screen or a computer has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
No electronics rule and no electronics fee is published, so call the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 and ask whether the unit can go out as routine bulk, or call the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority on 540-857-5050 about the transfer stations and the third Saturday collection events at Tinker Creek, which are free to register for.
When & how
Ask before the unit goes out, then use the route the city or the authority confirms.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the recycling bins, which take cardboard, plastics numbered one and two, bi-metal and aluminum cans, mixed paper and newspaper only and do not take glass. Wipe personal data before the unit leaves the house, and keep any battery or gas cylinder separate because those follow their own routes.
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 Salem Sanitation Division inside Street and General Maintenance, with the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority
Use a Roanoke Valley Resource Authority transfer station
A household with brush, construction debris or any item that will not fit the tote and that the curbside program does not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Twelve drop-offs a calendar year are free to a Salem resident, counted across the Salem Transfer Station at 1271 Indiana Street and the Tinker Creek Transfer Station at 1020 Hollins Road NE in Roanoke. The authority applies material type and vehicle size restrictions, which it explains on 540-857-5050.
Arrange it
Load the vehicle, drive to either station, and keep the total number of visits across both sites inside the twelve trip annual allowance.
The allowance is a total across both sites rather than a limit per site, the load has to respect the authority's material and vehicle restrictions, and hazardous material is not part of this route except for the listed chemicals taken at Tinker Creek. The authority publishes 1020 Hollins Road NE in Roanoke for this station while the city page prints 1029 Hollins Road, so confirm the street number on 540-857-5050 before travelling.
Resource authority transfer station that also takes household chemicals
Tinker Creek Transfer Station
1020 Hollins Road NE, Roanoke, VA 24012, as the authority publishes it, while the city page prints 1029 Hollins Road
Brush and items that will not fit the residential tote, plus latex paint, aerosol cans, lead acid car batteries, used antifreeze and used motor oil during normal operating hours, and a wider range of hazardous items at the third Saturday collection events.
The third Saturday events require registration at least twenty four hours ahead, the authority applies material and vehicle restrictions, and the trip counts against the twelve free drop-offs a Salem household gets across both stations each calendar year. The authority publishes 1020 Hollins Road NE in Roanoke for this station while the city page prints 1029 Hollins Road, so confirm the street number on 540-857-5050 before travelling.
The listed chemicals are taken during normal operating hours, and the wider collection runs on the third Saturday of each month; confirm the current hours with the authority on 540-857-5050.
No charge. The listed household chemicals are taken without a published charge during normal hours, registering for a third Saturday event is free, and the transfer station trips count against the twelve free drop-offs a Salem household gets each calendar year.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Salem.
How much does TV removal cost in Salem?+
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 Salem?+
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 televisions and computers go in Salem?+
Confirm the route first, because the city publishes no electronics rule and the three recycling drop-offs take only cardboard, plastics numbered one and two, cans, mixed paper and newspaper. Call the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 about routine bulk collection, or call the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority on 540-857-5050 about what the Salem and Tinker Creek transfer stations accept and what the third Saturday collection events at Tinker Creek take.Official guidance
