Don't do this

Don't put a TV curbside. HHW goes by your garage or front door, in a labeled box.
Don't book a pickup for a cracked TV or one 50" or larger. Only TVs under 50" with unbroken glass are on the list.
Don't use up your one yearly pickup without gathering paint, batteries and other electronics too.

Or pay someone to haul it

If you can't get it to a drop-off site, or can't wait for city pickup, a junk-removal service can take it from inside your home. Prices depend on the company, your location and the size of the load, so get a quote first. Ask whether they recycle or donate items and whether they follow Phoenix's rules, especially for electronics and paint. Another option is to hire moving helpers by the hour: they do the lifting, and with a truck they can drive it to a drop-off site. They move it where you tell them, so pick a legal destination from this guide.
