The rule: the barrel is closed to screens
Colorado bans most electronics from landfill disposal statewide — TVs, monitors, computers, and their kin cannot ride the trash or a rented dumpster, in Briargate or anywhere else. That leaves three legal exits: recycling drop-offs (centers and periodic collection events — free-to-cheap when the timing and your trunk cooperate), retailer takeback when a replacement is being delivered anyway, and pickup — ours — for everything the first two do not fit: the 70-inch panel, the basement CRT, the no-car week, the tech riding along with a bigger clear-out.
What pickup costs, exactly
| Device | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Bag of cables & small tech | $35 |
| Stereo / sound system | $52 |
| Speaker system (large) | $57 |
| Computer monitor | $58 |
| Printer (home) | $58 |
| Desktop tower | $62 |
| TV under 42" | $62 |
| TV 42–65" | $68 |
| TV over 65" | $73 |
Minimum job $75 — pair a lone monitor with anything else going. Every price includes the carry from wherever the device retired to (basement, bonus room, garage rafters), the hauling, and the certified-recycler fees. Wall-mounted TV? The crew unmounts it; mention it when you book.
Before anything leaves: sort by how much of you is in it
The genuinely useful e-waste sort is not by size — it is by data. Tier one, just objects: dumb TVs, dead microwaves, speakers — nothing to do, they are only material. Tier two, account carriers: smart TVs, streaming sticks, smart speakers — sign out and factory-reset from the settings menu; five minutes, and your logins leave before the device does. Tier three, file holders: computers, laptops, external drives — wipe the drive, or pull it with a screwdriver and keep it in a drawer, which is the only certainty that depends on nobody else's shredder. Certified recyclers destroy at industrial scale and are not browsing drives — but tier three is ten minutes of your time for a guarantee no vendor can sell you.
CRTs: the best deal on this page
The old tube TVs are the category everyone else avoids: leaded glass makes them the most restricted screen type, drop-off programs cap or decline them (especially the wooden console units), and they weigh like furniture. Ours price by the same size table above — which, given the two-person basement extraction they usually require, is the strongest price-to-effort ratio we offer. The tube goes into the certified stream that exists precisely for leaded glass.
Working gear: sell it first, honestly
A working flat screen sells quickly in this town — arriving military families furnish whole houses on PCS timelines, and a buyer who carries it out is free removal plus cash. The honest cutoffs: broken screens sell to nobody, CRTs to almost nobody, and a used printer is worth less than the listing takes to write. Run the five-minute Marketplace test on anything that powers on; book us for what fails it. And equipment that is not yours — the cable box, the employer laptop — goes back to its owner, not into any stream.
A worked dead-tech pile
The classic office-corner retirement: 55" TV ($68) + desktop tower ($62) + two monitors ($58 each) + printer ($58) + the cable drawer bagged ($35) = $339 flat, one visit, every device in its correct stream. Riding along with a garage or basement clear-out instead? The whole mixed load can run truck tiers from $241 a quarter truck — you get whichever route prices lower.
How booking works
List the devices with TV sizes on the quote page — or photograph the pile — and the flat total comes back in about a minute. Run the data checklist before the window; the crew handles unmounting, stairs, and the recycling paperwork. Same-day across the Springs is usually available if you book by mid-afternoon.
The bottom line
Colorado closed the barrel to screens, so pick the exit that fits: drop-offs when the trunk and timing cooperate, retailer takeback at replacement, and for everything big, heavy, downstairs, or numerous — $58–$73 flat, data wiped by you, everything else handled by us. Get your price or call (719) 247-5775 and reclaim the corner the dead TV has been renting.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put a TV in the trash in Colorado Springs?
No — Colorado bans TVs, monitors, computers, and most electronics from landfill disposal statewide, so they cannot go in the barrel or a rented dumpster. The legal exits: recycling drop-off events and centers, retailer takeback when buying a replacement, or a pickup that routes to a certified e-waste recycler. With us a TV is $62 to $73 by size, carried from wherever it sits, compliant routing included.
how much does tv disposal cost in colorado springs
Flat by size: under 42 inches $62, 42 to 65 inches $68, over 65 inches $73. A computer monitor is $58, a desktop tower $62, a home printer $58, and the drawer of dead cables bundles into a bag at $35. Every price includes the carry-out — basement, upstairs bonus room, garage rafters — plus hauling and the certified recycling fees. Job minimum $75, so pair a lone monitor with anything else going.
what should i do before recycling a computer or smart tv
Sort your devices by how much of you is in them. Just-objects (dumb TVs, dead microwaves): nothing to do. Account-carriers (smart TVs, streaming boxes, smart speakers): sign out and factory-reset from settings — five minutes. File-holders (computers, laptops, external drives): wipe the drive, or pull it and keep it in a drawer — ten minutes with a screwdriver, and the only version of certainty that does not rely on anyone else's shredder. That duty stays yours on every route, including ours.
Do you take old CRT and console TVs?
Yes — at the same size-based pricing, and honestly they are the best value on this page. Leaded CRT glass makes them the most restricted and least wanted screen type; drop-off options often cap them or decline the big console units, and they weigh like furniture. Our crew handles the two-person carry out of the basement, and the tube enters the certified stream built for leaded glass.
is it worth selling a working tv first
Usually, yes — a working flat screen sells fast and cheap on Marketplace in a military town where arriving families furnish quickly, and a buyer carrying it out is free removal plus cash. The honest cutoffs: broken screens sell to nobody, CRTs sell to almost nobody, and printers are worth less than the listing time. Sell what works; book us for what does not.
Can you take the whole dead-tech pile at once?
That is the normal booking: the TV ($68), the old tower ($62), two monitors ($58 each), the printer ($58), and the cable drawer ($35 bag) all ride one truck — $339 for that pile, every stream routed correctly, usually same-day if you book by mid-afternoon. If the tech is part of a bigger clear-out, the whole load can switch to truck-tier pricing from $241, whichever is cheaper.
