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.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Computers, monitors, laptops, DVD players and televisions at the on island E-Cycle Washington site, and small electronics and appliances in limited quantities at the hauler's Issaquah store for Recology residential customers. Equipment outside the state programme carries a fee at a Take it Back Network recycler.
When & how
E-Recycle MI is on the island at 7835 SE 30th Street and answers on 206-230-8188, while the Issaquah store opens Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed Monday.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before the device changes hands, remove and tape any loose batteries, and keep televisions and computer equipment out of the garbage cart and out of the county garbage loads, where they are refused.
Televisions, computers, monitors, laptops and DVD players go to the free state electronics site on the island at E-Recycle MI, 7835 SE 30th Street. Batteries, light bulbs, styrofoam, textiles, hardcover books, small electronics and bicycles go to the hauler's Issaquah store, with battery terminals taped first, and the city thrift shop also hosts a battery box for dry cell, rechargeable and phone batteries. Cooking oil is collected curbside by request in a labeled clear jug of up to 3 gallons. Paint, solvents, pesticides and automotive fluids go to the free county hazardous waste site at Factoria.
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.
Donate usable goods and hand in batteries on the island
A household with clothes, furniture or decor that is still usable, or a bag of household batteries that should not be thrown away.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city's thrift shop takes usable donated goods and hosts a battery recycling box inside its main entrance for dry cell single-use batteries, rechargeable batteries and cell phones.
Arrange it
Take usable goods and batteries to the thrift shop, keeping the batteries separate so they go into the recycling box rather than the donation pile.
The box takes household batteries and phones rather than loose damaged cells, and items that are not usable still belong in the bulky item route or a recycling event rather than the donation dock.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mercer Island.
How much does TV removal cost in Mercer Island?+
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 Mercer Island?+
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 Mercer Island televisions and computers go?+
To the free E-Cycle Washington site on the island, E-Recycle MI at 7835 SE 30th Street, which takes computers, monitors, laptops, DVD players and televisions and answers on 206-230-8188. Small electronics and appliances can also go to the hauler's store in Issaquah during its open hours. Televisions and computer equipment are refused in the garbage cart and at the county garbage facilities, so they never go out with the trash.Official guidance
