Location: Haslemere, Surrey. I have been told that TVs taken to household refuse centres are put into landfill. I have also been told that analogue TVs are no use to charity shops.

It probably will end up in landfill if you take it to the tip or leave it out to be colected by the council.
Try freecycle sites which are designed to swap items for free that you do not need any more without spending money. You could also advertise in classifieds but if you dont want money it will go very quickly. This is prob your best bet as the tv may not be worth too much
Try these sites that the council recomend:
1. http://www.swapitsurrey.org
2. http://www.free2collect.co.uk
Hope this helps

I don't think they will be put in landfill as this is now contrary to EU regulations. I live in the North East and know that here, at our disposal sites, things like TVs, washers, frigs, car batteries etc, are stored seperately from the rubbish in the skips going to landfill. If you really want to know, telephone the waste disposal dept of Surrey County Council. Its Waste Policy Statement is available on line at http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/sccwebsite/sccwspublications.nsf/WebLookupFileResourcesByUNID/docid64E55484EA58022E80256F4700433AB3?openDocument
and may, in fact answer the question (I haven't read it)

You can be sure it will end up in a landfill somewhere,sometime reguardless of who you give it to. The system of disposal needs to be reformed before this will change. Its a crime that trash is managed in this way when its just a matter of good engineering to stop it.

analogue tvs can be used for 3 more years yet so i would have thought charity shops may take it if it isnt too old.

Your local council will have a disposal site just for this purpose, they all have them now, it's an EU ruling (Isn't it always the BLO*** EU).

Why not contact your local council to see if they can help you.
