Television Removal In NYC
Removing an old TV isn’t as simple as taking out the trash. Televisions and other electronic devices are classified as electronic waste, and New York’s e-waste regulations mean they cannot be thrown out with curbside pickup or regular trash. Many TVs contain hazardous materials like vacuum tubes, circuit boards, heavy metals, and the cathode ray tube (CRT) found in older CRT Televisions. To protect the environment, these items must go through safe electronics recycling.
At Lightning Junk Removal, we provide responsible TV removal and disposal services throughout the Greater New York City area. As a reputable junk hauling firm, we specialize in eco-friendly disposal for TVs and related equipment. Whether you’ve got a flat screen, an older tube TV, or even projector screens, we handle the heavy lifting, safe transport, and delivery to the proper recycling facility.
Our team makes television recycling simple, stress-free, and fully compliant with e-waste laws.
Why Televisions Require Special Disposal
Televisions are not just heavy materials; they contain sensitive components that must be dismantled properly. CRT-type sets and Cathode Ray Projection Systems use electron guns and phosphor front glass panes that are categorized as hazardous waste under Department of Sanitation and Department of Environmental Protection guidelines. Modern units like flat-screen smart TVs and plasma televisions also have fragile LED screens, lithium batteries, and metallic materials that need to be sorted at a recycling facility.
If TVs are thrown out incorrectly, they violate disposal laws, put harmful substances into landfills (going against landfill restrictions), and can even cause expensive recycling fees for property owners. By relying on professionals with proven removal experience, you avoid liability and ensure your TV is disposed of properly.
How We Handle the Television Disposal Process
When you schedule a haul-away service with us, here’s what happens:
- On-Site Removal – We do the heavy lifting, carrying your TV—whether it’s an old CRT device, a digital TV, or a flat screen smart TV—out of your home, business, or office. You don’t need to move it yourself.
- Sorting and Transport – TVs, DVD players, VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray players, hard drives, battery backups, cables and connectors, and other accessories are all loaded for transport. Our crew uses padding and straps to protect walls and stairs during removal.
- Eco-Friendly Disposal Options – We bring electronics to trusted recycling partners and approved recycling facilities that follow e-waste regulations like the Covered Device Recycling Act. There, materials like glass, plastics, and metallic materials are separated through responsible recycling services.
- Donation When Possible – If your Smart TV or digital TV is still in working condition, we coordinate with donation outlets and recycling programs to extend its life and help local families or organizations.
This eco-friendly approach ensures your TV becomes part of the circular economy rather than ending up in a landfill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a recycling fee for TVs?
Some disposal options for televisions and CRT devices include state or local recycling fees due to the hazardous materials involved. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
Can televisions be left for curbside pickup in NYC?
No. Because of landfill restrictions and e-waste laws, TVs are not eligible for curbside pickup by the city. They must go through a certified recycling facility or an approved recycling program.
What happens to my TV after it’s removed?
We work with licensed recycling partners who dismantle TVs, extract valuable metallic materials, and recycle materials in safe compliance with e-waste regulations. Whenever possible, working televisions are donated to families or nonprofits.
Do you only remove TVs, or other electronics as well?
We handle TVs along with other electronic devices like cell phones, VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray players, hard drives, circuit boards, and even appliance removal jobs. If it qualifies as e-waste, we’ll haul it.
How do I know this follows e-waste laws?
Our eco-friendly disposal practices comply with all disposal laws, including the Covered Device Recycling Act, NYC e-waste laws, and Department of Sanitation requirements. Everything gets either recycled, donated, or directed through proper recycling facilities for safe processing.

Angel cleaned out an entire 1BR apt for me in an afternoon – 2 truckloads at a very good, transparent flat rate – even did the carpet and nails. Couldnt recommend more – clean, efficient, and honest.
SSteven Turville -
These gentlemen answered my last minute call with friendly, super fast, same day service. They went above and beyond for me and my family when we had a death in the family and needed a last minute cleaning out of a storage unit. I can’t recommend these gentlemen highly enough. NG

We hired them for a tough job in our backyard. Angel was very professional from our very first interaction. He gave us a prompt estimate, was responsive, punctual, fast to schedule, and thorough.rnrnNot only did they haul away a chain link fence, metal, wood, and heavy concrete pavers from our backyard through the basement and up the stairs – they also had to clear and haul construction debris that was blocking the door they needed to go through (picture attached).rnrnNo job seemed too big or too small. We dealt with competitors that wasted our time (no-shows, late, disappeared, or focused on issues instead of partnering with us to find solutions). We both have demanding careers, are new landlords, and have a toddler – so finding a company that respects your time and goes the extra mile is incredibly valuable.
