TV pick up and removal FAQs
What happens if my TV is still in good working condition?
If your TV is still in good working condition and you don’t want to sell it or donate it yourself, we’ll handle the donation for you. We recycle and donate as much as possible to give old items a new life.
How do I prepare for my TV disposal appointment?
No preparation needed! When we arrive, we’ll remove your TV from wherever it’s located in your home. There’s no need to move it outside or pack it up.
Do I need to carry the TV to the curb before you arrive?
Nope! We’ll remove it from wherever it’s located in your home.
How do you dispose of an old or broken TV?
The proper way to get rid of an old television depends on its condition. Whether it’s working or broken, TV disposal must be handled with the environment in mind.
Here are some ways to get rid of your old TV:
- Ask your rubbish collection service about electronics pick up.
- Take your old TV to a recycling facility.
- Trade your TV in at an electronics retailer.
- Return your TV to the manufacturer.
- Donate working TVs to a local charity or second-hand store.
- Use a TV recycling pickup service like 1800-GOT-JUNK? to handle the heavy lifting and proper disposal.
If your TV still works, donating it is always the best option. If it’s broken, you’ll need to bring it to a recycling facility that can reuse the materials to create new products.
Can I throw a TV in the trash?
TVs are made from plastic, glass, metals, chemicals, and electrical components that can’t be left with your regular household rubbish for pickup. While many waste management companies accept e-waste on bulk pick-up days, the most responsible way to get rid of an old TV is to donate or recycle it.
Why can’t televisions go to the landfill?
Televisions, like other e-waste, contain plastics, glass, metals, and chemicals that can harm the environment if sent to a landfill. Non-organic materials take centuries to break down, taking up valuable space for years. Some television components, such as cathode ray tubes, contain toxic materials that can contaminate the surrounding soil and pollute the air if damaged.
The safest way to dispose of old TVs is through recycling. Many materials can be repurposed to create new, valuable products.
Will my city pick up my old TV?
It depends on your location. Many cities offer e-waste pick up, but you’ll usually need to haul the TV out of your home yourself, which can be challenging.
Our friendly and professional team makes it easy! We’re in your neighbourhood, and we’ll remove your TV quickly and safely. We make junk disappear, all you have to do is point!
