Where do you recycle or dispose of old TVs?
 

Does anyone know where you can take old televisions? I mean the kind with the giant backs. Are they recycleable or will the garbage take them at the curb?

Leave it out with a sign on it saying free and works. Someone will happily take it. You can also offer it to any of the landscaping guys -- there's always someone who can use it. Another way to get rid of it is to offer it on freecycle.org. And, yes, the garbage people will pick it up as well (a six-pack left with it doesn't hurt).

It doesn't work. A friend of mine had lightning hit her TV during that last storm on Friday.
Thanks for the ideas, though. Some of them will apply.

Check with Best Buy. All of their locations take old electronics for recycling. There are some size restrictions on TVs (I think 32" is the max). The website gives a lot of information. Hope that helps!

Call Best Buy, I dont know about here but in PA they will accept them for recycle for no charge. Just dropped three of them off there last month before moving. They also accepted the old computer monitors with the big backs and other old electronics.

If it doesn't work, do the same thing but leave in front of a neighbors house.:p

We donated an old 36" set to the Red Cross (or Habitat). Can't remember which one.

There is an older thread on here with the answers. You'll have to do a search.

Best Buy will take them

Call Sumter County. They will pick up old TVs, even very large ones. You do, however, have to somehow get it to the curb.
