getting rid of an old tv

[Cobster]

anyone know of a disposal service or where to get rid of old tube tv's?

Throwing it out with the trash usually works.

You could always throw it in one of the bins behind a plaza somewhere... that is how I always dispose of the stuff that I cannot put in my garbage at home.

naa, too much shit goin in the trash, thought there was a place where you could recyle old tv's or something along those lines.

we're all dumping too much shit on ourselves and this world as it is.
i got a conscience.

that's the easy way out.

If it stills works, why not bring it to Cash Converters or one of those places.

If it still works, donate it to Salvation Army.

If its busted, call a junk remover. I know each municipal region in Toronto has a junk removal service. You have to call, and they come on a particular day in your neighbourhood to collect tossed out furniture.

that's the prob, it's kaput.
think ill have to call a junk removal service.
could have sworn i heard or read something about a place that would recycle parts from a tv.

in Durham we have a recycling centre that takes old appliances and TV's, batteries etc..... Im sure there has to be a dump/recyling centre out your way CC.

Sheiks idea works wonders too. Just because something is free someone will snap it up. Its amazing how fast things are scooped up off a front lawn

My uncle was an old TV. He loved putting on a woman's dress. Once we found him in the attic trying on my mothers wedding dress. We sent him to a psych hospital. Not sure if leaving him on the curb is a good idea.

Take it to the city dump. They have a spot for t.v's.

I would take it to a local Goodwill or Value Village if it's still functional. At least that way, someone else could possibly enjoy it.

this is my first post on TERB. Hi everyone.

LOL

You never know, may be he'll manage to make a few loons and buy his own dresses.

Throw the TV out on garbage day, they will pick it up, I threw out a TV a couple weeks ago, someone grabbed it before the garbage men picked it up.

There really is no danger to an old TV, EXCEPT ,the high Vacum of the CRT. Most Manufacturers provided a nipple at the Cathode end (non-screen end ) that could be broken off to safely equalize the vacum..
Do this with a pair of side-cutters. Then send it to the trash.
Volia!
