Broken TV disposal. Sounds like a really simple task — right? But, the reality is quite different. If you’re old projection TV just bit the dust and no longer works, getting rid of it is more of a hassle than you probably believe. In fact, you’ll probably be surprised to learn just how hard it is to do. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer. Of course, this doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the thing forever. But, it does mean your options are quite limited.
Most Common Electronics Junking Challenges
Any type of television disposal is made hard because most charities won’t even accept these electronics. Basically, charities do not want to incur the disposal fee. And, many are skeptical about these electronic devices simply because they aren’t in demand. In other words, it’s not easy to get rid of an old TV, even if it works perfectly fine.
Electronic products are made from valuable resources and materials, including metals, plastics, and glass, all of which require energy to mine and manufacture. Donating or recycling consumer electronics conserves our natural resources and avoids air and water pollution, as well as greenhouse gas emissions that are caused by manufacturing virgin materials. --United States Environmental Protection Agency
