Frequently Asked Question: 

Do I have to recycle my old TV?

TV’s can be made with toxic elements such as: cadmium, mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl, and polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants. They are very harmful to the environment.

If improperly disposed of, some TV’s can emit dioxins which is considered one of the most toxic chemicals among scientists. Dioxins are known to cause cancers, damage to reproduction systems, affects immunity and hormones.

For those reasons, properly disposing of an old TV is imperative.

You definitely don’t want to throw it in the trash. Luckily there are many recycling facilities where you can bring your old TV too. With a quick google search you can find select businesses near you.

Best Buy accepts old TV’s for free if they are larger than 50 inches. For smaller TV’s they charge $30. The only drawback is that you have to bring it to them. Usually most recycling facilities won’t come to your house to pick it up.

So if you have a large TV that is too heavy to lift yourself, give us a call and help will be on the way.

We only charge for the service to extract it from your home and haul it away to the recycling facility. And if it’s still in good working condition we can donate it to one of the local charities.

My TV still works, what else can I do with it?

Donate it or sell it! If you’re thinking about donating your old flat screen TV that’s still in good working condition, you can try giving it to Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity or Value Village.

Facebook Marketplace is a great place to sell a used flat screen TV. They have a review system that is pretty trustworthy and you can also have a payment directly deposited to your account with no fees. Some other options are Craigslist or OfferUp. Both are great choices.

As a general rule, always be sure to practice safety when dealing with strangers. For that reason, Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp may be the best solution since they both have review systems in place that help to build transparency.   

How much does a TV removal service cost?

Our prices start at $80 for a single TV. This includes the pick-up and transportation cost to the nearest recycling facility or charity. If you decide you have more items to dispose of, the cost of the old TV removal would be absorbed into the overall cost of junk removal service.

We’re always looking for ways to reduce your cost. Where most junk hauling companies charge by volume, we charge by the estimated weight, volume and distance to the nearest sorting facility. By factoring these three things we are able to offer the most affordable rates in the market.
