Mesa, Arizona is the 37th largest city in the U.S. and operates one of the more distinctive municipal waste programs in the Phoenix metro. Bulk pickup is fee-based, with paid load pickup at $29 per load for Mesa customers ($37.59 for non-Mesa), scheduled by appointment via (480) 644-6789. Mesa is unique among large U.S. cities for collecting trash, recycling, and yard waste on every holiday with no delays. Mesa also accepts glass curbside in the blue barrel, unlike Phoenix metro neighbors. The Household Hazardous Materials Facility at 2412 N. Center Street handles HHW free for Mesa residents Wed to Sat. This guide covers every disposal option for City of Mesa residents.
The Mesa rule for TVs and electronics: TVs are on Mesa's accepted bulk list (one large or a few small) for a paid pickup, but the HHM facility takes electronics free from residents.
Program basics: Bundled or single items over 60 pounds may be ineligible. Fees scale with load size. End of the driveway, not blocking the sidewalk, between 6 p.m. the night before and 6 a.m. on the day.
What the city will not take: Appliances (including microwaves), construction and remodeling materials (cabinets, sinks, tubs, doors, lumber, tile, drywall), tires, hazardous waste, liquids, and items over 60 pounds.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Mesa: Bulk Item Collection Program. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why TVs and electronics are different from ordinary bulk. Electronics fall into a unique disposal category: they’re NOT eligible for regular trash in 25+ states (NY, CA, IL, NJ, MA, OR, WA, MN, MI, CT, MD, NC, VA, OK, and others have e-waste laws), but free recycling is widely available through multiple channels.
Three mistakes that get TVs and electronics left at the curb:
When free options don’t fit (large CRT TVs, multiple items at once, can’t self-haul):
LoadUp paid TV or electronics pickup
$80+For Mesa households needing in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept (construction debris, hazmat), or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Phoenix metro for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your TV or electronics. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

Does Mesa pick up TVs and electronics for free?
TV on a paid bulk pickup, or free at the HHM facility Wednesday to Saturday mornings.
Where can I donate a TV or electronics in Mesa?
Donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
How much does paid TV and electronics removal cost in Mesa?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single TV or electronics pickup in Mesa starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Mesa households needing in-home pickup, items the city won’t accept (construction debris, hazmat), or service when crew labor is needed (heavy items, multiple-piece sets), LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Phoenix metro for upfront-priced pickup.
What’s the simplest way to recycle electronics?
Best Buy in-store recycling. 1,000+ U.S. locations, accepts most electronics free at the customer service desk (limit 3 items per household per day). Computers, laptops, monitors under 32 inches, printers, small electronics, batteries, ink cartridges, and cables are free. CRT TVs and TVs over 32 inches: $30 fee each. No appointment needed.
Can I throw a TV in regular trash?
In most U.S. states, no. 25+ states (NY, CA, IL, NJ, MA, OR, WA, MN, MI, CT, MD, NC, VA, OK, and others) have e-waste laws that ban TVs from regular trash. Even in states without e-waste laws, most cities ban TVs from regular bulk pickup. Free TV recycling is available through Best Buy ($30 for CRT or over 32 in), state e-waste programs, and city drop-off sites.
How do I wipe my hard drive before recycling a computer?
Three options: (1) Software wipe, download free DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke) or use built-in OS tools (Windows: Reset PC with “remove everything” + clean drive; Mac: Erase Assistant in System Settings). (2) Physical destruction, remove the hard drive and physically destroy it (drill holes, hammer). (3) Best Buy free data destruction service, included with electronics drop-off. Option 3 is easiest if you’re using Best Buy for disposal anyway.
Why are CRT TVs more expensive to recycle?
CRT (cathode ray tube) TVs contain 4 to 8 lbs of leaded glass per tube, plus phosphors and other heavy metals. Modern flat-screen TVs are dramatically less hazardous and cheaper to recycle. CRT recyclers must handle the leaded glass through specialized facilities, which costs $20 to $50 per TV. Retailer recycling fees ($30 at Best Buy) and city drop-off fees ($10 to $30) cover this cost. State e-waste programs (NY, CA, IL, others) absorb the cost through manufacturer fees on new electronics.
