Where or how does one ''recycle'' televisions? Properly?

Question

My 27'' finally pooped itself after 12yrs faithful service.

I don't want to chuck the thing into the landfill..so if you ''Saints of the Earth'' enviros could direct me to the proper place I would appreciate it...and no it can't be repaired and donated to anyone..it's garbage.

Answer 2

here are some of my suggestions:

1. recycle it at a local recycle center (call them up to make sure that they accept tv stuff)

2. even if it doesn't work, put it on craigslist, i am sure someone out there is in need of a tv and someone is able to fix it, sometimes something might seem impossible for us but very possible for others =)  i know this b/c i have freinds who get monitors that didn't work and turn them into working monitors and then use them to build their own computers LOL so yeah... put it out there for free and see if someone wnats it =)

3. donate to salvation army or red cross to see if anyone can make use of them
