How to dispose of a big heavy tube tv
We have a tv we need to get rid of, it does work well but we finally got a flat screen.
Dump won't take the tv, it's way to big and heavy to get it into a trash can. I've called around, Salvation Army, recyclers etc.
I'm not dumping it in a ditch. What are my options?
It works well, and has a working universal remote if anyone wants it.

Its to the point now where most places won't take tube TVs anymore.
I hate to say it but your best bet is to dismantle it, crush the tube and put the pieces in the trash.

There was an older guy on Craig's who picked up tv's cleaned or repaired them and then gave them to charities.

I second this especially if it works.Originally Posted by Holger Danske
Okay, On Craigs it goes.
I tried giving one away for a couple weeks on CL. Good luck.
There are plenty of places that will recycle it.

Drop it off at ARC thrift store? Nevermind says they don't take them.
I think goodwill takes them. If you are looking to recycle them, Best Buy recycles electronics for free. I took several CRTs there just recently.

Most charities won't accept tube TVs anymore, even if they work.
If you can get someone to take it on Craigslist that would be ideal (except for the fact that you'll be inviting some creepy folk to your home ... I'd take it to the office and make them pick it up there if that's an option).

When I had a garage sale I tried to sell two, but no one wanted them. So I just put them along the cub and posted a sign on them that said "free works good" and they were gone that day. Just attach the remote to it with tape. I would try that first then look for other options.
