electronic recycling question
« on: January 19, 2014, 03:23:16 PM »
Ok I live in one horse town in Wisconsin (and the horse is not doing well) anyway. This Christmas I got Mom and Dad a new flat screen TV. Now we have a old CRT TV that is now junk. and come to think of it I have a good supply of computers that should go to the recycling heaven. I have got rid of things before old computer type things but any tv that has a crt tube i would have to pay to get rid of it. About $15.00. now is that a good deal? Can anyone on here post how much in your area you pay to get rid of electronics? I will pay most likely being that I don't want the tv in a landfill
This is just open thought

In Pennsylvania, Best Buy accepts most electronics returns.

TV, Batts, CFL's, printers,pc's, mice/keyboards you name it,

I believe they limit TV size, no real large TV's

I have also donated old pc's & tv's to local mission groups. These are usually shipped out of US.

15 is good.  That is what we would pay here in Minneapolis.   Too bad the seller of the tv would not take it.  Best Buy did-but only takes if you buy from them.

Now I might be wrong but I thought best buy would take anything even if it did not come from them? I did think that they only would take three things at once....but I could be wrong.

I won't PAY anybody to take it.  They should be paying, not charging.

Since I couldn't find anybody around here, it all went to the county dump on the last free drop-off day a few months back.
