Professional TV removal — what to expect
An insured crew arrives, unmounts or lifts your television from wherever it sits, loads it without scratching floors or walls, and takes it to a certified e-waste recycler. No rental truck, no lifting a 90-lb tube TV, no guessing where a screen is legal to dump.
We unmount it where it sits
Wall-mounted living-room set, basement projection TV, or a spare bedroom tube — our crew disconnects, unmounts, and carries it out through tight hallways and stairwells so you never lift a screen yourself.
- Wall-mount takedown and bracket removal included
- Full-service carry-out from any room or floor
- Floor, wall, and doorway protection on every job
Recycled the right way
Illinois banned TVs from household trash and landfills. We route every set to certified electronics recyclers, where leaded CRT glass, circuit boards, and metals are recovered instead of buried.
- Certified R2/e-Stewards recycling partners
- Working sets refurbished or donated when possible
- Hazardous CRT and plasma components handled safely
When Chicago residents call us
Whether you just upgraded to a bigger 4K screen, inherited a house full of old electronics, or need a busted display gone before it becomes a trip hazard — our crew disconnects, hauls, and recycles it so you don't risk injury or an illegal-dumping fine.
- Upgrading your TV. New screen arriving? We take the old one on the same visit so you're not storing a dead set in the garage.
- Broken or dead screens. Cracked, no picture, or won't power on — recycle it responsibly instead of leaving it curbside.
- Moving, estate & home cleanouts. Multiple TVs and electronics during a move or property cleanout, carried carefully from occupied homes.
- Offices, landlords & property managers. Old conference-room displays or abandoned TVs at turnover — flexible scheduling, invoicing, and multi-unit jobs.
TVs & displays we take
Every type of television has its own weight, glass, and hazard profile — here's what we remove and recycle daily across Chicago homes, offices, and rentals.

Before you toss that TV yourself
Televisions aren't ordinary trash — Illinois law, toxic materials, and your personal data all make DIY disposal riskier than it looks. Here's why most people call a pro.
It's illegal to trash
Illinois bans TVs, monitors, and other e-waste from household garbage and landfills — haulers can refuse or fine curbside sets.
Toxic materials
CRT tubes contain leaded glass, and screens hold mercury backlights — broken units release hazards you shouldn't handle at home.
Heavy & awkward
Old tube and rear-projection TVs can top 100 lbs. We team-lift and use dollies so you avoid a back injury or a dropped screen.
Data on smart TVs
Modern TVs store Wi-Fi passwords and streaming logins. We route sets to certified recyclers instead of leaving them on a curb.

TV removal FAQ
Common questions from homeowners, renters, offices, and property managers.
How much does TV removal cost in Chicago?
A single flat-screen pickup starts around $75. Heavier CRT/tube and plasma sets run $90–$130, and multiple TVs bundled with other e-waste typically land in the $150–$250 range. We confirm the price on-site before starting.
Can you take old CRT / tube TVs?
Yes. Old tube and rear-projection TVs contain leaded glass, so they can't go in regular trash. Our crew lifts them safely and routes them to certified e-waste recyclers that handle hazardous components.
Do you unmount wall-mounted TVs?
We do. We disconnect the set, take it off the wall mount, and can remove the bracket too if you'd like — just let us know when booking so we bring the right tools.
What happens to my TV after pickup?
Working sets may be refurbished or donated. Everything else goes to certified R2/e-Stewards recyclers, where glass, metals, plastics, and circuit boards are recovered instead of landfilled.
Is it illegal to throw a TV in the trash in Illinois?
Yes. Illinois bans TVs, monitors, and other electronics from household garbage and landfills. Recycling through a service like ours keeps you compliant and out of the reach of dumping fines.
Do you offer same-day TV pickup?
Often yes. Call (888) 308-7556 early or book online for same-day or next-day availability across Chicago and the suburbs.
