TV Disposal

Televisions come in all shapes and sizes. Some older models are combination TV and stereo in heavy cabinets. A few still have vacuum tubes, others are weighty CRT (cathode ray tube), or more modern flat screen, LED, or plasma screens. Older TVs can be extremely heavy, while more current models are much lighter but often large and bulky.

Is it time to upgrade to something new? Do you need more room and the space that old cabinet television takes up would serve much better for a couch? It may sound like a snap, but that could be your back. Trying to figure out where to take it to dispose of is one thing; getting it there is another.

Don’t strain yourself carrying that old TV out. Scratching your car paint or tearing its fabric leads to an expensive repair. Let us do it for you! We make getting rid of televisions easy! Just give our friendly customer service reps a call!

What to Do With Old TVs

If you’ve been holding on to an old television because you don’t know what to do with it, here are some suggestions. If it still works, you can sell or donate it. Many youth or seniors centers would love to have another working TV. Families recovering from hardship or disaster would appreciate it too.

If it is an old cabinet unit, it could be repurposed into a bar, display cabinet, or even a fish tank. Some older models are also collector’s items. They may not pick up a station, but working tubes are a hot commodity with some enthusiast. Alternatively, take it for TV recycling at an electronic waste site.

If you don’t have the time, call on our television disposal services, and we’ll dispose of it in an eco-friendly manner.

How to Get Rid of Old TVs

Unwanted working televisions can be sold to college students or young families who can’t afford new products. You could sell or give it to a friend or relative, or a co-worker for their children. There is always a demand for TVs in working order. Donate it to a charity or reuse center. They’ll make sure it goes to help someone in need.

If the TV is a nonworking piece of junk, then take it to a recycling facility. They’ll take it apart and salvage reusable parts and metals, and dispose of the rest properly. If you don’t have the time or a vehicle, or it’s too heavy, give us a shout! We’ll haul it out! Even if it’s in the attic or basement!

Where Can I Take Old TVs to Dump?

Many communities won’t pick up televisions with the trash. They require it to be recycled. TVs often contain chemicals that can be harmful and need to be disposed of correctly. Recycling services take the old TVs apart, and the pieces are reused, often in new products.

If you don't want the hassle of getting that old unit out of the house and where it needs to go, schedule a TV pick up and we’ll do it for you.

Can I Donate an Old TV?

Working TVs can also be taken and donated to charities or other organizations. Some even pick up! Charities will give it to someone in need, or to a center where many will benefit from your generosity. Some organizations have reuse stores where they sell donated items at low prices and use the proceeds to provide services like soup kitchens and shelters.

Whether residential or business, your working television donation will be warmly welcomed. If you can’t get it there, our professional team will haul away a TV or two and get them there for you.

Can TVs Be Recycled?

Landfills won’t take TVs since they contain harmful chemicals and minerals that are growing scarce. Many communities have electronic waste sites or drop-offs set up where TVs can be taken for responsible eco-friendly disposal.

Recyclers will dismantle televisions and separate the different parts for reuse. Glass, plastic, and wood can all be turned into other products. Metals are further separated into precious and non-precious categories for reuse. Very little ends up in the landfill when they’re done.

Whether your TV is large or small, upstairs or down, let our friendly experts facilitate your TV removal. We’ll take it to be recycled and save you the trip.
