TV & Electronics Disposal Cost in Dallas, TX
Most people pay $70–$140. Updated for 2026.
Local view of our TV & Electronics Disposal cost guide — national ranges, what moves them, and every city we cover.
An old television is one of the few household items you genuinely cannot put in the bin. Most states classify TVs as electronic waste, and in Dallas, TX that means they have to go to a recycler rather than a landfill.
Older plasma and CRT sets are the awkward ones: a 55-inch plasma can weigh over 100 pounds and a tube TV contains leaded glass, which is exactly why disposal carries a fee that a flat-screen does not.

TV & Electronics Disposal in Dallas: what actually moves the price
With 42% of homes detached and 47% in buildings of five or more, Dallas sits right on the line where tv disposal stops being a driveway job and starts being a carry. A photo settles which one yours is.
Spread out as Dallas is, two pros can quote the same tv disposal job very differently for no reason other than where their truck started the morning.
The median Dallas home dates to 1980. Housing of that vintage sets the practical limits on tv disposal — doorway widths, stair turns and whether there is a basement in the picture at all.

TV & Electronics Disposal in Dallas: where the city stops and a hauler starts
The free route in Dallas has hard edges, and they are the reason people end up paying: Ten cubic yards a month, with one exception a year that allows twenty.
Past those limits the city is not an option at all — not slower, not pricier, simply unavailable. That is the line a hauler exists for, and it is worth knowing exactly where it sits before you start carrying anything.
Collection in Dallas is run by City of Dallas Sanitation Services. Below is what they will take, straight from their own rules — and where each route runs out.
What the regular cart will not take
Materials go out between Thursday and Sunday before your collection week, placed just behind the curb in front of your own home — not at the side of the house, not in an alley, not across the street, not in the roadway or on the sidewalk, and at least five feet clear of roll carts, mailboxes, fences, water meters, telephone boxes, parked cars, fire hydrants, poles and traffic signs. Taken: tree limbs and shrubbery no thicker than eight inches and no longer than ten feet, bagged grass and leaves, household furniture, bicycles and toys, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters. Not taken: ordinary bagged garbage that would fit in the roll cart, construction and demolition debris (bricks, rock, asphalt, gravel, concrete, glass panes, glass doors, mirrors, anything with nails sticking out), auto parts and tires, dirt, soil and sod, electronics, roofing and shingles, paints and chemicals, and any appliance holding coolant or gas — air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, lawnmowers.

Why electronics cost more to get rid of
The price is not truck space, it is the recycling gate fee. Screens contain lead, mercury and flame retardants that have to be separated under state e-waste rules, and the recycler charges per unit or per pound to accept them. That fee is passed on to you, which is why a small TV and a small chair cost different amounts to remove.
What changes the price
Screen size and type do most of the work. A modern LED under 40 inches is light and cheap to process; a CRT or plasma is heavy, needs two people and costs the recycler more. Adding a few smaller items — a printer, a monitor, a stack of cables — usually costs far less than booking a second pickup later.

TV & Electronics Disposal in Dallas — common questions
How much does TV disposal cost in Dallas?
Most people pay $70–$140. That is a national range for TV disposal, not a quote — your real price comes from local pros bidding on your photos, and it moves with volume, stairs and how far the item has to travel to the truck.
Can I put an old TV out with the trash in Dallas?
Almost certainly not. Televisions are classed as electronic waste in most states and collection crews are instructed to leave them, so the set sits at the curb until someone books a proper pickup. Some retailers take a screen back when you buy a new one — worth asking before you pay for removal.
Is a tube TV really more expensive than a flat screen?
Yes, and by a noticeable margin. CRT sets contain several pounds of leaded glass that recyclers charge extra to handle, and their weight usually turns a one-person job into a two-person one. Mention the type when you post the job so the quotes come back accurate.
What happens to the TV after pickup?
It goes to a certified e-waste processor where the glass, metals and circuit boards are separated for reuse. Working sets are sometimes donated instead. What a reputable pro will not do is put it in a landfill, because in most states that is illegal.
How quickly can it be picked up?
It depends on how many pros cover your area. On our first jobs the first quote arrived within one to three days, and we email you the moment one comes in. Once you pick a pro you choose the date and time window; same-day or next-day pickup is possible when a crew has room on the truck.
What does JunkerClub charge me?
Nothing. Posting a job and collecting quotes is free, and you pay your pro directly when the work is done. The pro pays the platform a small fee only when they win the job — it never gets added to your price.
Do I have to carry it outside myself in Dallas?
No — the crew does the lifting and loading, and that labour is most of what you are paying for. In Dallas the stock is split — 42% of homes are detached and the rest are attached or in larger buildings — so two addresses on the same street can carry very differently. The median home here was built around 1980, so doorways and stairs are usually the wider post-war sizes. Say which floor it is on and whether there is a lift when you post the job; that is the part that moves the quote. Housing figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau.
What makes a junk removal quote in Dallas different from the national average?
Access and housing type, mostly. In Dallas, 42% of homes are detached and the city runs at about 3,904 residents per square mile — the housing stock is split between houses and larger buildings, so two addresses on the same street can price very differently. Renters occupy 58% of occupied homes here, which also shapes when the work happens. The prices on this site are national ranges; the number you actually pay comes from local pros bidding on your photos. Housing figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau.
