Thanks, Serge, for the quick, professional, and reasonably priced service. Will use you again - highly recommend!
Overview
The tube TV in the garage is too heavy for one person and holds several pounds of lead. We carry it out and take it to an e-waste recycler, along with the rest of the dead electronics.
The old tube TV has lived in the garage since the flat-screen arrived, because it is too heavy to lift alone and nobody will take it. The trash hauler will not. Most charities will not. In California it cannot legally go in the bin at all. We carry it out from wherever it sits and take it to an e-waste recycler, and we take the monitors and the printer while we are there.

Why You Can't Just Toss an Old TV
Under California's Electronic Waste Recycling Act, televisions and monitors must be recycled, not landfilled. A CRT tube holds several pounds of lead, roughly 4 to 8 pounds per set, and flat-screens contain mercury and other materials that need proper handling. Dumped sets leach lead and mercury into the ground, and illegally dumped electronics are a real problem in Sacramento. We take the whole problem off your hands and do it to code.
Every Type of TV, Plus a Few Other Electronics
- CRT (tube) televisions and monitors
- Plasma, LCD, LED and OLED flat-screens
- Projection and console TVs
- Computer monitors and desktops
- Stereo equipment and electronics
A few electronics ride along with a pickup. An office's worth of computers and monitors should go straight to an e-waste recycler.
How It Works: Four Simple Steps
- 1. Book online or call. Tell us what you have and where it is. Same-day and weekend slots are usually open.
- 2. Get an upfront quote. A single TV pickup typically starts around $60 to $100 depending on size and type. We confirm the number before we touch it, and bundling other junk into the same load lowers the per-item cost.
- 3. We do the lifting. The crew carries it down the stairs and through the tight doorway. If it is still on the wall, we disconnect and dismount it.
- 4. We haul it to a recycler. Then we sweep up and go.
What Actually Happens to Your Old TV
Your television does not get dropped at a transfer station. It goes to an e-waste recycler where it is dismantled: leaded CRT glass is separated for specialized processing, circuit boards and metals are reclaimed, and plastics are sorted for recycling. Very little ends up as true waste.
If you have a truck and a free morning, Sacramento County takes e-waste from residents at no charge at the Sacramento Recycling & Transfer Station on Fruitridge Road, Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station, and the City of Sacramento offers free curbside e-waste collection by appointment. We are the call when the set is too heavy to lift, when it is upstairs, or when you want the TV gone with the rest of the junk in one trip.
Clear Out the Whole Electronics Graveyard
Most homes have more than one dead device in a closet. While we are there for the TV, we take the old computer monitors, the printer that never worked right, the box of cables, the retired stereo receiver and the drawer of chargers. One e-waste pickup keeps the per-item cost down and clears a whole category of clutter in a single visit. Smart TVs and computers store logins and files, so factory-reset them and pull the drives first; we do not offer data destruction.
What TV and Electronics Pickups Look Like in Our Reviews
“Serge was amazing. I texted in the morning and he was there to pick up within 2 hours. I had enough junk, donation, electronics and misc stuff to fill the whole truck bed. He also took a washer and dryer, and broke down a storage shed. Highly recommend!”
Jessica Jerozal, Google“Serge was quick to respond to my request and provide a reasonable quote. I ended up having more to haul than originally planned and he was very accommodating. They were on time, quick, and professional and great to work with. Highly recommend.”
Angela T., YelpFrequently Asked Questions
How much does TV removal cost in Sacramento?
A single TV pickup typically starts around $60 to $100 depending on size and type. Adding other electronics or junk to the same volume-based load usually lowers the per-item cost.
Do you recycle old CRT (tube) TVs?
Yes. CRT televisions contain leaded glass and must be handled by a certified recycler. We carry the set out, however heavy, and take it to an e-waste recycler.
Can you take a wall-mounted TV down?
Yes. The crew disconnects and dismounts it for you. Just show us which one is going.
What else counts as e-waste you can take?
Computer monitors, desktops and laptops, printers, stereo gear and most consumer electronics, a few items at a time alongside a pickup. For a large lot or an office's worth of equipment, go to an e-waste recycler directly or use the county's free drop-off sites.
Is my data safe when you take a computer or TV?
Smart TVs and computers can store logins and files. Factory-reset devices and remove or wipe drives before pickup. We do not offer data destruction.
Do you charge extra for very large or projection TVs?
Big-screen projection and console sets are heavier and take more truck space, so they price a bit higher than a standard flat-screen. You know the exact cost before we load it.

Serge was awesome to work with. I am very grateful I found his company. I contacted them on a Tuesday and by Wednesday the hot tub was gone. He was on time and worked hard. Left the area cleaned up and I’m so excited to have my backyard back!
