How to dispose of a 20-year-old TV?

March 2009

How can I dispose of my 20-year old tube television responsibly? It stopped working in December and might be fixable, but I don't want it. Is there a charity that will pick it up from me, or who could use it? An organization that can recycle its materials?

I use eRecycle OnUs, 1271 Boulevard Way, Walnut Creek, CA. 94595, just off of 680, Mt. Diablo exit. They take any e-waste for free and recycle it responsibly. They will unload your car when they are open or you can drop off after-hours. Their website is http://www.erecycleonus.com/ lindab
