TV Retailers

Big box stores like Best Buy and Office Depot often accept any brand of TV for recycling. Best Buy, for example, accepts TVs of up to 32 inches. It charges $10 for this service, unfortunately, but will give you a $10 gift card for the store to offset the cost.

TV Manufacturers

If your TV is a Samsung, the maker will accept old TVs at no cost at specific locations; others will be accepted by the maker for a fee. Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba have a similar program of recycling locations that accept their branded televisions for free recycling, and LG, Zenith and Gold Star brands offer free recycling as well. Research LG and Waste Management electronic drop-off locations to find a site near you.

State or Municipal Collection Sites

Check with your town, city or county solid waste management body to find out where collection sites for electronic waste like computer monitors and televisions are located. Some may have periodic electronic waste drives. According to Maine's Department of Environmental Protection, most places that accept computer monitors will accept televisions, too.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers

If your county has a standard drop-off location available for hazardous waste, chances are it will accept your TV. Curbside collectors generally don't pick up TVs during residential curbside garbage collection because of concerns over contamination, but your curbside collection service provider might be able to point you to a hazardous waste collection location or another local option.

Get a Gold Star for Responsible Recycling

When you drop off your TV, ask the recycler where the machine will be sent as recyclable scrap. For example, many times recycling is carried out in countries like China and Ghana with low de facto monitoring of the health and safety conditions of the workers who smash the obsolete devices to remove profitable metals, risking breathing noxious toxins in the process. If you learn your recycler ships to such countries, as a responsible global citizen you should keep searching for a recycler who isn't willing to export the health risks of recycling to scrap metal recyclers---often children---who are desperate for money in developing countries but put at great risk by this industry practice.

Our city has a trailer parked at the municipal garage where they recycle oil and you can drop tv and other electronic devices there, as long as you are a resident.

     Wait for a city cleanup day. Most towns and cities offer a dropoff day for larger items, appliances, broken televisions and old monitors. This will assure that your broken TV set is properly recycled.

     Check with your local electronics and office supply stores. Many offer e-cycling programs, although there may be a fee. If you are purchasing a new TV, ask if the store can recycle your old one.
