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 Tulsa, OK 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 Tulsa: what actually moves the price
Detached houses make up 62% of the stock in Tulsa. For tv disposal that generally means kerbside or garage access, which is the version of the job local pros price lowest.
48% of occupied homes in Tulsa are rented, and month-end is when that shows: tv disposal bookings cluster around move-out weekends, so a midweek slot is usually the cheaper one.
The median Tulsa home dates to 1972. 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 Tulsa: where the city stops and a hauler starts
The free route in Tulsa has hard edges, and they are the reason people end up paying: Remodelling debris only counts if you did the work yourself at the address being served, and it has to be containerised and under one cubic yard in total. There is a limit of four monitors or televisions, four tires without rims, and ten gallons of latex paint. Large yard waste has to be cut under six feet long and under eighteen inches across. Ten dollars per eight cubic yards collected, and another ten for each additional eight cubic yards. The city has published an increase: from October 1, 2026 both figures become twenty dollars.
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 Tulsa is run by City of Tulsa Public Works — Refuse & Recycling. Below is what they will take, straight from their own rules — and where each route runs out.
Booked bulky pickup
Large items that do not fit inside your refuse cart, and yard waste too big to bundle for the regular hauler. Remodelling debris only counts if you did the work yourself at the address being served, and it has to be containerised and under one cubic yard in total. There is a limit of four monitors or televisions, four tires without rims, and ten gallons of latex paint. Large yard waste has to be cut under six feet long and under eighteen inches across. Ten dollars per eight cubic yards collected, and another ten for each additional eight cubic yards. The city has published an increase: from October 1, 2026 both figures become twenty dollars. Book online — you will need your City utility Customer ID and account number — or call 311, or email the city. Schedule at least three days before your pickup day; orders are worked in the order they arrive, and collection happens on your regular refuse day. Cancelling means calling before noon the day before, otherwise the charge lands on your account anyway. Bulky waste is at the curb by 5 a.m. — not under power lines or trees, not over water meters, gas meters, telephone boxes or cable boxes, not within three feet of a fence or of your carts, and with no vehicle parked in the way. Appliances go out empty, small engines drained of oil and gas, and electronics, appliances and tires are separated from everything else because two different trucks come for them. Anything one person can handle at forty pounds or less belongs in a bagged sticker pickup on the regular route instead, and yard waste tied into four-by-two-foot bundles or see-through bags rides along with regular collection, up to fifteen extra bags or bundles a week.

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 Tulsa — common questions
How much does TV disposal cost in Tulsa?
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 Tulsa?
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 Tulsa?
No — the crew does the lifting and loading, and that labour is most of what you are paying for. In Tulsa 62% of homes are detached, so most jobs are a driveway carry and the truck can usually get close to the door. The median home here was built around 1972; single-width staircases are common in that stock and lifts are rare. 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 Tulsa different from the national average?
Access and housing type, mostly. In Tulsa, 62% of homes are detached and the city runs at about 2,099 residents per square mile — most homes here have a driveway a truck can reach, which usually keeps a job at the simpler end. Renters occupy 48% 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.
