TV removal in Pasadena

TV removal in Pasadena is the job the Precise Junk Removal crew does when the old set has to be out of the room before the new one comes in. The crew covers Pasadena and the full list of towns across the San Gabriel Valley where the crew picks up. Text a photo to (626) 590-3118 and they price it off the picture. What makes a TV different from the rest of the junk is the shape of it. It's one awkward piece, heavy in the wrong places, and it almost never comes alone. The stand it sat on, the mount it hung from and a nest of cords usually ride along.

Three kinds of set show up again and again. The old tube TV in the spare bedroom that weighs more than it looks. The projection TV in the den that was built into the room and never left. And the flat screen with a cracked panel that isn't worth a repair. Each one carries differently, and the crew wants to know which one they're walking up to, so the photo matters more here than on most jobs.

If the TV is the last thing left after a bigger clear-out, the crew can take the whole room at once. An entertainment center and a couch go on the truck beside it, and it all comes back as one number. A set on its own still gets picked up, and the $50 minimum covers the small jobs. The couch and the big cabinet count as furniture removal and go on the same truck.

What goes on the truck

• Flat screens, any size
• Old tube TVs
• Console and projection TVs
• TV stands and consoles
• Wall mounts and brackets
• Entertainment centers
• Cables and power strips
• Boxes from the new set

From the full list of what goes on the truck: appliances.

What's usually in the pile with the TV

A TV job is rarely the TV by itself. The stand goes, because the new set is wider or hangs on the wall. If the set is still on the wall, say so in the text and ask about the bracket. Behind the stand sits a power strip and a tangle of HDMI cables. The crew loads all of it.

The calls come from a homeowner upgrading the living room, a landlord who found a set bolted to the wall after a tenant left, and a family clearing a parent's house where the console TV has sat since the nineties. Every one of them has the same problem. The thing is heavy and awkward, and the doorway seems to have shrunk since it came in. When the old fridge or the washer is leaving the same day, those appliances that go on the truck ride along too.

Tube sets, projection TVs and flat screens carry differently

An old tube TV has most of its weight in the glass at the front, so it tips forward the moment it leaves the stand, and a hallway turn with one is slow work. A projection TV is lighter than it looks but tall and deep, and it has to be turned through a doorway rather than carried straight. A flat screen is the easy one until the panel is cracked. A broken panel sheds glass if it's carried flat, so the crew carries screens upright and loads them so one broken screen doesn't become ten pieces by the time it's unloaded.

Say which kind of set it is when you text. The crew plans the carry off that, and a photo with a chair or a door frame next to the TV tells them the size without a tape measure.

Where the stand, the box and the rest of the pile end up

The business runs on one sort order: a donation center first, recycling second, the landfill only for what's really trash. A TV pile is a mixed one. The stand and the entertainment center can go to a donation center if they're still in shape for another living room. The cardboard from the new set's box and any metal brackets in the pile land on the recycling side. Across everything the crew picks up, about 75 percent gets recycled. What's left, the broken particleboard and the cracked plastic trim, rides to the landfill.

The TV itself is a separate question. Where a screen ends up is one to ask the crew when you text. The sort order stays the same on every pickup.

How the crew gets a TV out of the house

The crew arrives inside a two-hour window, any day between 8 AM and 8 PM. Tell them in the text where the set sits, which floor it's on and whether it's still on the wall. If it is, ask whether the crew takes it down and whether the bracket comes with it. Upstairs sets come down the stairs by hand, and each staircase adds $50. A steep driveway adds a slope charge that comes back with the rest of the price off the photo.

For a landlord with a set still bolted to a tenant's wall, or an office manager swapping the conference room screens, send the unit or suite number, how the crew gets in, and whether there's an elevator for the carry down. Say how many screens and whether the brackets stay. Say in the text who will let the crew in, and if you'd rather the set stay inside, say that too and the crew will tell you how that pickup goes.

What TV removal costs

The job starts at $50, so a single set on its own never prices below that. The crew works from the photo you text and sends back one number for the whole pickup. What moves that number is how much room the load takes on the truck. A flat screen takes a sliver of the bed. A console TV with the cabinet built around it takes a real chunk. A TV plus the entertainment center and the boxes from the new set takes more again.

Stairs add $50 each, so a set on the third floor of a walk-up costs more than the same set in a garage. A steep slope adds at least $50, depending on how hard the carry is. Pay by cash, check or online payment. The pricing guide walks through how the number gets set. Put every piece in the photo, the mount on the wall included, so the number covers all of it.
