We can haul them to a dumpster at the dump - no idea what happens after that but city allows

Old tv: how to get rid of it

there's 5 or 6 dollars of copper/aluminum/metal in one of them old behemoths....
not worth it for one tv, but if you get a dumpster load, some one in the business could make it work, but it is just too labor intensive
give it away if possible

The picture tube itself also holds a high voltage (30kv+) that must be discharged when servicing. I used a looong screwdriver with a wire clipped between the chasis and the tip. The bigger the tube (or projector gun) the higher the voltage.

I collected several dozen old TV's, placed them in front of my house, and turned them on for holiday lighting.
All the neighbors were so awed, they wanted to buy them for their house decorations!
I made over $200, and got them hauled off for free!

It's amazing what people will come get for if you post it for free on Craigslist. I've disposed of all kinds of junk just by putting it up on Craigslist. I'd be really surprised if no one came to get a perfectly good working TV.
Best Buy already told me they won't accept any tv unless you are buying a tv from them
Around here Goodwill takes any TV.
My employer had a few CRT/VCR/DVD combo deals for security footage, we donated all them to goodwill.
Nobody else would take them.

Either that or toss it in a dumpster someplace.
