TV & Electronics Removal in Austin
Small TV $62, medium $68, large $73 — plus monitors $58, desktops $62 and a box of assorted e-waste $77. Flat, quoted from a photo, carried out and routed to electronics recycling. Austin's on-demand bulk collection won't take electronics at all, which is why that old projection set is still in the corner.
One picture of the set, the pile in the closet or the stack of monitors in the conference room. An exact flat price comes back in seconds, recycling routing included.
Same-day is usually open from the 04 up to Wells Branch. Office lot at The Domain? We file the COI and book an after-hours dock and freight-elevator window.
An insured crew dismounts the wall panel or lifts the old projection set, takes the bracket and the cables too, and routes everything to an electronics recycler.
Flat, per item, quoted from a photo. Televisions price by size; everything else in the closet prices individually or as a single boxed lot, whichever is cheaper for you. The carry-out, the dismount, the drive and the recycling routing are all inside the number.

No — and this is the cleanest "no" in Austin waste policy. Electronics are excluded from the city's on-demand bulk collection. Televisions, monitors and computers are not accepted as curbside bulk, so unlike a couch or a bookshelf, there is no version of the request where a truck comes and takes the TV off your hands. The City of Austin's answer is a Recycle & Reuse Drop-off Center that you drive to yourself, during its hours, with the set already loaded.
Even the bulk program you can't use for a TV is narrower than most people expect. Austin Resource Recovery runs it as an on-demand request at austintexas.gov/service/ondemand: a limited number of free pickups per year, a volume cap on each one, curbside only, and available only to city-of-Austin residential curbside-trash customers. If you live in an apartment at The Domain, a student building in West Campus or a garden complex along Riverside, your property is on private hauling and you are outside the program entirely — no bulk service to be excluded from in the first place.
Retail take-back fills part of the gap and then stops. Programs like Best Buy's cap how many items they accept per household per visit and charge a fee on some televisions, which is workable for a laptop and useless for a rear-projection set two people can barely tip forward. So the practical options collapse to: rent a vehicle and make the trip yourself, or have someone come to the room, take it off the wall, and route it properly. That second one is us, same day, at a price you knew before we left.
Televisions do not belong in a landfill, and older ones especially: a CRT tube carries several pounds of leaded glass, which is the genuine reason putting an old set at the curb is a problem rather than merely untidy. So both CRTs and flat panels go to Austin electronics recyclers, where the glass, the leaded components, the circuit boards, the copper in the cabling and the aluminium in the chassis are separated and recovered instead of buried.
The same channel handles the rest of the load. Desktop towers and monitors are stripped for boards and metals; printers give up their steel and plastics; batteries out of remotes and laptops are pulled and handled separately. Anything still working and current — a monitor from an office refresh, a recent console — we flag for reuse rather than shredding wherever a partner will take it. None of that is a separate recycling fee; it is inside the flat number you were quoted from the photo.
Most Austin TV jobs are one of three shapes. The first is a home upgrade: a new panel is going on the wall this weekend, and the old plasma or rear-projection set — genuinely heavy, awkward to grip, and impossible for one person — has to leave first. We dismount the incumbent, take the bracket, and carry it out; in a slab-built two-story that means down the stairs, since there's no basement to hide it in and the garage is already full.
The second is office and tech-tenant churn in 78758 and 78759 around The Domain and the north tech corridor, where a floor gives back space and leaves behind thirty monitors, a stack of towers, a printer and a mile of cabling. Those buildings run on loading docks, not curbs: we file the COI naming the building's management and ownership, book the freight elevator and an after-hours dock window, and clear the floor without interrupting the tenants still working. The third is short-term-rental and apartment turnover — the "04" refitting units ahead of SXSW and ACL, and the late-July student move-out in West Campus, where the TV, the mini-fridge and the desk all go at once.
Customer Reviews
“Arturo was amazing! Excellent service. I took a photo of all my cardboard boxes from moving, got a quote, and they came to pick them up that same day. Arturo was fast and friendly! Will definitely be using this service again.”
“This is a really great service. Very transparent and communicative team. Dwayne was fast and amazing.”
“Communication was excellent, the haulers were so fast and efficient and work so hard. Very grateful for the help today!!”
Flat and photo-quoted by size. A small TV is $62, a medium TV $68, a large TV $73. The rest of the electronics ladder: a stereo is $52, a large speaker $57, a monitor $58, a small printer $58, a desktop computer $62, and a box of assorted small e-waste $77. The minimum order is $75. Carry-out and recycling routing are included, and your checkout total is confirmed before you book.
No. Electronics are excluded from Austin's on-demand bulk collection — TVs, monitors and computers are not accepted as curbside bulk, so setting one out is not an option. The city instead runs a Recycle and Reuse Drop-off Center that you have to load up and drive to yourself. On top of that, the on-demand bulk program is only a limited number of free pickups per year with a volume cap, curbside only, and open only to city-of-Austin residential curbside-trash customers, so apartment residents at The Domain, in West Campus and along Riverside are excluded outright. See austintexas.gov/service/ondemand.
Sometimes, within limits. Retailer take-back programs including Best Buy cap how many items they accept per household per visit and charge a fee on some televisions, and you still have to get a 150-pound rear-projection set into a vehicle and across town. For one small item that can work; for a wall-mounted 65-inch panel, an old projection set or an office worth of monitors, it does not.
Yes. Flat panels and CRTs are routed to Austin electronics recyclers rather than landfilled, which matters most with older sets — a CRT tube contains several pounds of leaded glass, and that is the real reason putting an old television at the curb is a genuine problem rather than just an eyesore. Circuit boards and cabling are recovered through the same channel, and it is all inside the flat price.
Yes. Tech tenant churn across 78758 and 78759 is a standing job for us — monitors, desktops, docking stations, printers and cabling cleared in bulk, often on an after-hours loading-dock window. We file the building COI and reserve the freight elevator, then quote the whole lot flat from photos.
Yes, we can dismount a wall-hung panel and take the bracket with it, and we carry the set out from wherever it is rather than asking you to move it first. The old projection or plasma set in the corner is usually a two-person lift, which is exactly why it is still sitting there.
No. Texas Disposal Systems publishes a 2025 gate rate of roughly $60 per ton for municipal solid waste at its Creedmoor landfill with a two-ton minimum, so a single television would be billed as if it were two tons — and a TV should be going to an electronics recycler rather than a landfill in the first place. For an upfront-price comparison, Muvr advertises pricing from $99, while the national franchises quote only after an on-site or phone estimate.
Standard mounts, yes — padded and carried out; the mount can ride along on the same quote.
Texas steers TVs and computers to recycling programs rather than landfill — we carry the set out and route it to an e-waste recycler.
Flat class pricing — $62/$68/$73 by size — CRTs and projection sets included.
Yes — monitors $58, desktop towers $62, a mixed box of electronics $77. One photo prices the lot.
