Same here. First time I replaced a working TV. It took two people and a
hand truck to wheel it out. Nobody wanted it. But we lucked out. The
county already announced they were overwhelmed with electronic recycling
from the prior year. A local TV station has an annual home show at a
local mall. In conjunction with that they were going to hold free
electronic recycling. I couldn't believe it the traffic. There were two
queues formed leading into two unloading areas and there had to be
10,000 TVs near where we unloaded.
