TV & Electronics Removal in
Denver
That old flat-panel, the dead tube TV in the basement, a stack of monitors and a printer — none of it can legally go in a Colorado landfill, and the city won't take it. We carry it out and divert every piece to a certified e-cycler, the way the state's e-waste ban requires. Flat price from a photo: TVs from $62, monitors $58, desktops $62.
How electronics removal works in Denver
Three steps, and the compliance is on us:
- 1. Send a photo. The TV, the monitors, the desktop tower, the tangle of old gear — whatever's leaving.
- 2. Get one flat price. A number that already covers the carry-out, the drive, and the certified recycling — no on-site quote, no surprise fee.
- 3. A vetted, insured crew hauls it to an e-cycler. We carry it out (yes, the heavy tube sets too) and route it to a certified recycler, not a landfill — same-day where a slot is open, across Denver and the suburbs.
How much does TV removal cost in Denver?
Flat rates, photo-quoted before anyone shows up. Certified recycling is already in the number, and there's no Colorado sales tax on the service.
| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Stereo / receiver | $52 |
| Speaker (large / floor) | $57 |
| Monitor | $58 |
| Printer | $58 |
| Desktop computer | $62 |
| TV (small) | $62 |
| TV (medium) | $68 |
| TV (large / console) | $57 |
$75 minimum — so a single sub-$75 item like a stereo comes to $75. Certified e-cycler diversion and disposal included. No Colorado sales tax on the service.
Multiple pieces on one visit price together, so a whole media console or an office's worth of gear is one flat number. For context, national full-service franchises typically quote $150–$600+ once minimums and per-item add-ons land, often without guaranteeing the certified-recycler diversion Colorado law actually requires — we quote flat and recycle it right.
Four ways to get rid of a TV in Denver
| Option | Cost | Speed & effort | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular trash / curb | Free | Illegal — TVs are banned from CO landfills | Nobody: it's against state law |
| Denver Large Item Pickup | Free | Won't take it — electronics are excluded | Nobody: the city can't haul it |
| Drop it at an e-cycler yourself | Free–$30 per item + your truck | Slow; you load, drive, and unload it | One light TV and a free Saturday |
| National full-service franchise | $150–$600+ | They carry it — but on-site pricing, recycling not guaranteed | Those okay with a truck-side quote |
| JunkRabbit | $62–$73 flat per TV | Same-day, we carry it, certified e-cycler | A flat price and legal, documented recycling |
The wedge is real: you literally can't legally curb a TV in Colorado, and the city won't take it — a certified-diversion hauler is the compliant option, and ours is flat-priced.
Does Denver pick up TVs and electronics?
No — on two counts. First, since July 2013 Colorado's e-waste law, SB12-133, has banned TVs, computers, laptops, monitors, and printers from Colorado landfills. They're not allowed in your regular trash, and a hauler who "just dumps them" is breaking the law. Second, they're excluded from Denver's Large Item Pickup — the free curbside program runs only about once every nine weeks, takes five large items, and doesn't accept electronics (or appliances or tires) at all.
So a Denver resident with an old TV genuinely can't self-solve it through the trash or the city: it has to go to a certified electronics recycler. That's exactly what we do — carry it out and divert it to an e-cycler with the diversion documented — which is why "we recycle them properly" isn't marketing here, it's the only legal path.
What we take
- TVs — flat-panel LCD/LED/OLED, the heavy old CRT tube sets, and big rear-projection consoles.
- Computers — desktop towers, all-in-ones, laptops, servers, and networking gear.
- Monitors & printers — LCD monitors, old CRT monitors, printers, scanners, and copiers.
- Audio & peripherals — stereos, receivers, floor speakers, cables, keyboards, and the drawer of dead chargers.
- Office e-waste — a whole floor of gear cleared in one trip (see the RiNo commercial page).
What happens to your electronics after pickup
Every piece routes to a certified e-cycler — the only lawful destination under Colorado's ban. There, screens, circuit boards, metals, and plastics are separated and the valuable materials recovered, while the hazardous parts of older sets (leaded CRT glass, mercury backlights) are kept out of the ground. Where a device holds data, drives are handled for destruction. Working gear in good shape can be routed for reuse first. And like every load we run, it leaves your place tarped — Front Range sites charge double for an unsecured load, and a licensed Denver waste hauler keeps the disposal and diversion records to prove where it went.
Built for Denver homes and buildings
The worst TV hauls in Denver are the basement ones — the ancient tube set or the projection console that got exiled to the Wash Park or Park Hill basement years ago and weighs a small fortune. We carry those up the basement stairs, no per-flight surcharge, because Denver is flat and the carry is in the price. In the Capitol Hill and Cheesman Park walk-ups it's a no-elevator stair-carry down to the truck; in the LoDo and RiNo lofts and offices it's a freight-elevator run with the COI filed. And RiNo's creative offices and studios are a steady source of monitor-and-desktop clear-outs — we clear the whole floor and it all goes to the e-cycler together.
When people call us for electronics removal
- A TV upgrade — the new panel's mounted, the old one (and often a tube set behind it) needs to go legally.
- The basement tech graveyard — years of dead monitors, towers, and printers finally cleared.
- A move-out or estate — clearing electronics a buyer or heir doesn't want, compliantly.
- Office or studio turnover — a RiNo or downtown floor of monitors, desktops, and copiers in one trip.
- A post-holiday declutter — the January purge of gadgets that piled up.
Why Denver chooses JunkRabbit for electronics
- Actually recycled — certified e-cycler diversion, documented, in line with Colorado's landfill ban.
- One flat photo-quote — TVs from $62, monitors $58 — no on-site reveal, no CO sales tax added.
- The heavy ones welcome — CRT tube TVs and projection consoles nobody else wants.
- Full carry-out — up from the basement, down the walk-up, out the freight elevator.
- Licensed & insured — a licensed Denver waste hauler with kept diversion receipts.
What Denver customers say
"Two giant tube TVs and an old projection console that had lived in the Park Hill basement forever. I couldn't legally trash them and the city won't take them — these guys hauled all three up the stairs and recycled them. Flat price from a photo."
"Cleared our RiNo studio of a dozen old monitors, towers, and printers. One trip, one flat number, and they gave me the recycler paperwork. Exactly what we needed for our books."
"New TV went up, old one needed to disappear the right way. Same-day, carried it down from the Cap Hill walk-up, no surcharge for the stairs. No tax surprise either."

Frequently asked questions
Can I just throw my old TV in the trash in Colorado?
No. Under Colorado's e-waste law (SB12-133, in effect since July 2013), TVs, computers, laptops, monitors, and printers are banned from Colorado landfills and must be recycled. They're also excluded from Denver's free Large Item Pickup, so you can't curb them either — a certified hauler that diverts them to an e-cycler is genuinely the compliant route.
Will Denver's Large Item Pickup take my TV?
No. Large Item Pickup runs about once every nine weeks, takes five large items, and excludes electronics along with appliances and tires. Your TV, monitor, or desktop is not on the list the city will haul — which is exactly why residents call a hauler.
What do you do with the electronics after pickup?
Everything goes to a certified e-cycler, not a landfill — that's the whole point of Colorado's ban. Screens, boards, metals, and plastics are separated and recovered, and drives are handled for data destruction where needed. It keeps you compliant and keeps the lead and mercury in old sets out of the ground.
Do you take old tube (CRT) TVs and big projection sets?
Yes — the heavy old CRT tube TVs and giant rear-projection consoles are exactly the ones nobody else wants and no city will take. We carry them out (a two-person lift on the big ones) and get them to a certified recycler. Priced flat from a photo.
Can you clear a whole office or a pile of e-waste at once?
Yes. A single TV, or a RiNo office of monitors, desktops, printers, and cables cleared in one trip — each item is priced flat and it all routes to the certified e-cycler together. $75 minimum, no sales tax added.
