Best Buy on 441 has a recycle program. It accepts flat screens up to 60" and tube TV up to 32" There are other recycle stations close to The Villages also.

This is all good to know (ditto for posts above this one)..........
I've been wondering myself where the landfill is that would be for the "stuff" of those who live in THE VILLAGES???
We've been disposing of a lot of "stuff" to the Salvation Army store, but things like computers and t.v.'s are now difficult to dispose of, due to toxic contents.
Our garbage men , who have known us for forty plus years, also will take things like that.......even though they are not supposed to.....
Or....our landscaper will take it to the landfill for us (and they charge him a small fee to accept it).....
When he retired two years ago, hubby decided to replace all of our older t.v.'s with thin big screen t.v.'s in all the various rooms..........and we ordered Direct TV satellite.........well, even the young fellow didn't want FREE "OLD" televisions............but the Direct TV technician was nice enough to help hubby carry in the new t.v.'s.........it was a long long day,but we lucked out with a very nice Direct TV guy.........we finally talked him into taking some of the older t.v.'s and our landscaper took the rest to the landfill...........they all worked, just were fatter and bulkier.
We all contribute so much to the landfills.....it is sad. A disposable society.
Our local senior daycare facility often will take older things for their residents.........
Where is the VILLAGES LANDFILL? Which quadrant of TV????
