How to Remove and Dispose of an Unwanted DIRECTV Satellite Dish

If you're struggling to sell a home due to an unsightly DIRECTV satellite dish, or simply want to get rid of one for any other reason, removing it is an easy process that can be completed in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Contact DIRECTV

Call DIRECTV customer service and inform them that you wish to cancel your service. You can do this by dialing *223 from your DIRECTV remote or by calling 1-800-531-5000.

Step 2: Remove the Antenna

Once your service is canceled, you can remove the antenna. Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection. Using a ladder, carefully disconnect the cables and gently lower the antenna to the ground.

Step 3: Dispose of the Antenna

Contact local recycling centers or waste management companies to inquire about proper disposal methods for the satellite dish. Some areas offer free or low-cost drop-off services specifically for electronics.

Step 4: Seal the Holes

After removing the antenna, there may be holes in the roof or siding that need to be sealed. Use a waterproof sealant to prevent leaks.

Step 5: Patch the Walls (Optional)

If the DIRECTV installation left any holes in the walls, patch them with spackling paste or a similar product. Sand and paint over the patched areas to restore the wall's appearance.
