Can you throw old TVs in the bin or is there somewhere you need to take them??

Question

It's busted so it's no good.

Answer 1

YIKES - please don't toss out! Call the waste hauling company or your city - and they will direct you to a businesss that will accept it for free - and they will dispose of it properly. there is a lot of hazardous waste in a television, and there are federal and state laws in place to mandate the creation of businesses to accept these from you. I have never heard of a resident being charged; some businesses have to pay a disposal fee but never a resident.

Be kind to the Earth and get it recycled!

Answer 2

Call your city offices before you do anything. It may be against the law in your city to dispose of TV in the trash. They will have a recommendation. Even if it's not against the law, the TV contains hazardous materials harmful to the environment. Dispose of it properly.

Answer 3

I don't know what city you live in but call the city and ask them if they have a large item pickup and when it is. In Phoenix they do that several times a year and you can put old broken appliances and furniture in the alley and the city disposes of them.

Answer 4

I would Suggest Fixing them then pawning them, If they r that messed up then throw em in a dumpster

Answer 5

They should be taken "somewhere". They contain lead, tin, gold, silver (forget it! Theres not enough of either to matter), phosphors. Not good for the environment.

Answer 6

there probably is a special place where you can drop it off or you probably could sell it because someone could probably use some parts out of it since it is busted.

Answer 7

to the train tracks

Answer 8

throw it into a dumpster.
