    Default TV recycling

    Wanted to get rid of a small TV we weren't using. Goodwill won't take tv's. Best buy advertises free recycling, but charges $25 for tv's. Blue star recycling charges $2 per inch, but won't take tv's, no room.
    Stores charge a lot for electronics, obsolete them too soon and now expect us to pay fir disposal. Not going to do that. It will go with the trash on Monday.

    put in trash bag, smash to bits. or set on curb and some metal recycler will do that for you. (copper windings)
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    Does it still work? If so, give it away free on Craigslist.

    This. It is surprising what you can get rid of on CL by offering it for free. Most things that I think have no value and will cost me to dispose of, can be left at the curb and an ad on CL. Disappears almost like magic.

    You don't have to deal with them.

    "Free. Will be at the curb. First come, first serve. As is. Dont ring my doorbell, just load it up and drive away. Just seeing it gone is thanks enough for me. Don't ask me if it is still available, I won't respond. If this ad is still up, it is still here. I will take down the ad as soon as it disappears. Do yourself a favor and come get this marvel of technology."

    list address or, my preference, nearest intersection and a direction from there. Put a "free" sign on it.

    you will still get some dumbasses emailing to ask if it is still there, can you hold it cause we are so far away, sob stories about hard times, yada yada. Ignore it all or auto trash them.

    Putting a FREE sign on it, has it sit there a few days.

    Put a First $5 takes it, sign on it. Usually gone before sunrise.
