getting rid of old CRT TVs

[isubeatle]

Does anyone know where these can be taken? can i use big item tags and have the garbage man haul them away? Does Best Buy still take them?

thanks!

I think Best Buy takes smaller tube TVs, I don't know what the cutoff is, maybe 27" or around there.

Dump them on LindenCy's lawn?

The landfill here in Linn County takes them for free. Yours might also, I'd check it out.

Poop on them first, just so he knows they're from his buddies at CF

Beat me to it. Used this to get rid of an old free TV I picked up outside of Howe Hall when I was in Ames.

Throw them out of the car as you're driving down the highway.

I had two of them that probably weighed 200 lbs each and no truck to take them anywhere. Listed them on Craiglist for free and some dude showed up and hauled them off. IIRC he strips them for parts.

Go figure...Johnson county charges for something Linn Co does for free:

• $10 - each computer system or TV with 18" screen or smaller.
• $15 - each computer system or TV with larger than 18" screen
• $.25/lb. - bulk electronic waste
• $2 per item: Miscellaneous electronic items such as printers, CPUs, VCRs, that don't have a CRT screen/monitor.
• $2 per item: other small appliances such as vacuum cleaners, alarm clocks, toasters, blenders, etc.

Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity will take them as a donation around these parts.

An old tube set goes for $10 at Goodwill. Any size out the door for a Hamilton

Negatory on Johnson county Goodwill as well:

Items we cannot accept, due to recall and/or environmental concerns, include:


Televisions of any kind

Stupid hippies.

What kind are they? Some are worth some money...

My local Goodwill takes them. Good thing too, as I had to offload about 4 of them a few months ago. Need to offload a few more this weekend.

Haul them up to the top floor of Wilson Hall. Charge admission. Send 'er OUT THE WINDOW. Well worth it.

Just leave it on Welch St. Someone will bust out the screen after the party for yucks. Then it can be written up by the police.

Sell it to some old spinster for a cat bed/box. Or give it to her. I don't care.

What about disposing of microwaves??? Any places that will take it for free?
