TV & Electronics Disposal in Tulsa
JunkLimo collects TVs, monitors and electronics across Tulsa, Oklahoma from an $85 minimum. The M.e.t. accepts most small electronics free at six area centres but charges for TVs, monitors and anything over 50 lbs, and the City’s Household Pollutant Collection Facility refuses large electronics entirely. Devices with hard drives are flagged and set aside rather than hauled.
- Old CRT tube TVs, leaded glass and all
- Routed to electronics recyclers, not the landfill
- Hard drives set aside for you rather than hauled
- A mattress and box spring
- One recliner
- A washer or dryer
- Six to eight bags
How much does TV and electronics disposal cost in Tulsa?
One to three items is the $85 minimum load. A cleared home office or an accumulated cupboard of equipment is normally about $149.
What each load size means for this job
- Minimum load — $85A TV, a monitor and a tower — up to about three items
- ¼ trailer — $149A home office cleared, or several TVs plus accumulated equipment
What changes the price
- CRT versus flat screen
- Tube and rear-projection sets take far more trailer volume and weigh far more than flat screens for the same item count.
- Item count
- The $85 minimum covers roughly three items, so a fourth TV usually moves the job up a tier.
- Hard drives
- Flagging and removing drives adds time rather than cost, and it happens by default.
- Stairs and location
- A tube TV from a second-floor bedroom is a two-person carry. No surcharge for it.
- Whether it is part of a larger clear
- Electronics on top of an existing cleanout load is volume, not a separate minimum charge.
Why does every TV disposal route cost something?
Because a TV is expensive to process and there is no programme in Oklahoma underwriting it. Every route charges — the question is only which one and how much.
CRT tube sets are the reason the category is treated differently. They contain leaded glass, which has to be handled and processed separately from ordinary electronics, and the recycling market for it is poor. Flat screens are lighter but carry their own materials problem in the backlighting.
So the M.e.t. accepts a long list of electronics free and puts TVs, monitors, air conditioners, large appliances and anything over 50 lbs in the fee category. That is not the M.e.t. being difficult — it is what the processing actually costs.
What happens to hard drives and data?
Anything with a hard drive gets flagged, and the drive is set aside and handed to you rather than loaded, unless you tell me otherwise.
Towers, laptops, old NAS boxes, some printers and most copiers hold data people have forgotten about. The default is that it does not leave the property in a state where anyone could read it, and that default costs nothing.
What does not happen is certified data destruction. JunkLimo does not shred drives, does not issue certificates of destruction, and does not claim to. If a business needs an auditable chain of custody for records, that is a specialist provider’s job and the honest answer is to use one before the equipment is collected. Businesses clearing whole floors should look at office cleanouts, where the IT question usually comes up first.
How heavy is an old tube TV, really?
Much heavier than its size suggests, and it is the reason these get left in garages for a decade. A 32-inch tube set is a two-person lift, and a rear-projection set is heavier again.
That weight also matters for the fee categories. The M.e.t. charges for anything over 50 lbs regardless of what it is, and plenty of old sets clear that on their own.
They take up trailer volume out of proportion to their screen size too. Ten flat screens stack. Three tube TVs do not stack at all. Where the old sets are coming out of an attic, attic cleanouts is where they usually surface — Tulsa attics are the standard resting place for a TV that still worked when it went up there.
When is a drop-off the better answer?
When what you have is on the M.e.t.’s free list and you can drive it there. That is a genuinely good option and it costs nothing.
The free list is long: cameras, computer towers, copiers and scanners, fax machines, keyboards and mice, laptops, microwaves, phones, printers, power cords, small appliances, UPS systems, and VCR or DVD players. If your pile is a laptop, a printer and a box of cables, put it in the car — Broken Arrow, Central Tulsa, Claremore, Downtown Tulsa, Glenpool and Sand Springs all take e-waste.
Where it stops working is TVs, monitors and volume. Three tube TVs do not fit in a sedan, they are fee items at the M.e.t. anyway, and the City caps bulky waste electronics at four per pickup on a separate truck with three days’ notice. That is the point where collection makes sense.
Where can electronics actually go in Tulsa?
Three routes exist and each one refuses something. Knowing which is which saves a wasted drive.
The M.e.t. — the Metropolitan Environmental Trust, at metrecycle.com or (918) 584-0584 — has been recycling in the greater Tulsa area since 1987 and operates more than a dozen centres. Six of them take e-waste: Broken Arrow, Central Tulsa, Claremore, Downtown Tulsa, Glenpool and Sand Springs. Free acceptance covers cameras, computer towers, copiers and scanners, fax machines, keyboards and mice, laptops, microwaves, phones, printers, power cords, small appliances, UPS systems, and VCR or DVD players. Fees apply to TVs, computer monitors, air conditioners, large appliances and anything over 50 lbs.
The City of Tulsa Household Pollutant Collection Facility at 4502 S. Galveston Ave, (918) 591-4325, open Wednesday and Saturday 8:00–11:30am and 12:00–4:30pm, explicitly does not accept large electronics — TVs, monitors and computers are on its refusal list along with commercially generated waste, medical waste, asbestos, tires, ammunition, radioactive material and unknown substances. It is the right place for paint and chemicals and the wrong place for a television.
City of Tulsa bulky waste does take electronics, capped at four monitors or TVs per pickup, at $10 per 8 cubic yards rising to $20 on October 1, 2026. Electronics must be separated from other bulky items because they need a different truck, and it must be scheduled at least three days before your regular refuse day. City of Tulsa utility customers only.
Dropping it off versus having it collected
| M.e.t. drop-off or City bulky waste | JunkLimo | |
|---|---|---|
| Small electronics | Free at the M.e.t. — towers, laptops, printers, phones, microwaves, small appliances | $85 minimum, so only worth it as part of a larger load |
| TVs and monitors | Fee at the M.e.t.; City caps bulky waste at 4 per pickup on a separate truck | No item cap, collected from any room |
| Getting it there | Yours. A 32-inch tube set is a two-person lift and does not fit most cars | Collected, including from upstairs, at no stair charge |
| Lead time | Drive-up during opening hours, or three days’ notice for City bulky waste | Same-day when the schedule allows |
| Hard drives | Your responsibility entirely | Flagged and set aside by default |
If your pile is a laptop, a printer and a box of cables, drive it to the M.e.t. It is free and this page cannot beat free. Collection is the answer for TVs, for volume, and for anything you cannot lift into a car.
