Have you called the trash company for a bulk pick up?

Yes -- Do call. The number is: 352-748-0109 option 3.

Sanitation Information

You simply leave your name, phone number and description of item. They will call back within 48 hours to schedule a pick up. Easy, peasy!

I put mine out on garbage day (42 inch flat screen) and they picked it up.

Once in a while a neighbor will put out a TV in the evening for pick up the next morning and it will be gone within a few hours. We live on a street with a lot of traffic so maybe that does not happen in areas with fewer cars and golf carts going by.

I did put out a quite heavy TV and that remained until the garbage people retrieved it.

We recycled our flat screen through Best Buy, but there was a charge to do it. IIRC $25.

You obviously have a different standard than I do. There is no way that I would ever pay 25 dollars to throw something away. Our taxes and fees pay for pick up and disposal of household items and appliances. I don't even know what recycling means with respect to a television.
