Serving Omaha Metro
Old televisions are one of those things that end up sitting in a basement or garage for years because nobody knows what to do with them. You can't put them in the trash. Goodwill doesn't want your 2004 rear-projection TV. And that CRT from the '90s weighs 80 pounds and is full of lead. A1 Junk Removal and Tree Service handles TV removal across the Omaha metro — we pick up the set, haul it away, and make sure it gets to an electronics recycling facility where the hazardous materials are handled properly.
We've carried old tube TVs out of basements in Bellevue, unbolted wall-mounted flat screens in Gretna, and loaded up entire entertainment centers — TV included — from living rooms across Omaha. Whether it's one TV or a stack of old monitors from an office upgrade, we take them all.
Types of TVs We Haul Away
CRT Televisions
The big, heavy tube TVs from the '80s and '90s. These are the ones everybody has sitting in the basement because they're too heavy to move and too toxic to trash. We get them out.
Rear-Projection TVs
Those massive projection sets from the early 2000s that seemed like a great idea at the time. They're awkward, fragile, and take up half a room. We haul them out carefully.
Flat Screen and LED TVs
Broken, outdated, or replaced flat screens. We'll take them off the wall mount if needed and remove the bracket too.
Computer Monitors
Old CRT monitors, LCD screens, and broken displays. If you're upgrading your home office or clearing out a business, we take monitors along with the TVs.
Why TVs Can't Go in the Trash
Televisions — especially older CRT models — contain hazardous materials that make them classified as electronic waste. A single CRT can contain four to eight pounds of lead in the glass alone, plus cadmium, mercury, and other heavy metals in the circuit boards. When these materials end up in a landfill, they leach into the soil and groundwater. That's why Nebraska and most states have regulations around TV disposal. When we pick up your old TV, it goes to a certified electronics recycling facility where the glass, metals, plastics, and circuit boards are separated and processed safely. If you've got other electronics that need recycling — computers, printers, old stereo equipment — we can take everything in one trip.
Bundling TV Removal with Other Items
A single TV pickup is quick and affordable, but you'll get the best value if you've got other items to go at the same time. Most people who call about a TV also have a few other things they've been meaning to get rid of — an old entertainment center, a broken recliner, some boxes from the garage. We price based on the total volume in the truck, so adding a few more items to a TV pickup barely changes the cost. It's a good opportunity to knock out everything at once instead of calling us back next month for the furniture you've been meaning to get rid of.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put an old TV in the trash?
In most cases, no. TVs contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium that make them illegal to throw in regular trash in many areas. They need to go to an electronics recycling facility, which is where we take them.
Do you remove TVs that are mounted on the wall?
Yes. We'll take the TV off the mount and remove the mounting bracket from the wall. We can patch the holes if you'd like, or just take the TV and bracket and leave the wall as-is.
How much does it cost to have a TV removed?
A single TV pickup is one of our most affordable services. If you've got other items to go at the same time, we can bundle them together for a better overall price.
Do you take old CRT TVs?
Absolutely. CRT TVs are actually the ones we get called about most because they're heavy, bulky, and nobody wants to deal with them. We haul them out and take them to proper electronics recycling.
