Tv Disposal - Blu-ray Forum

chan1490 · 09-08-2007, 03:52 PM

I wonder, for those people disposing of a 65" television, or any other tv for that matter, how do you dispose of it?

Do you leave it in the front yard?
Take it to the dump?
Give it to a friend / relative?

Seems like a waste if the TV is still functional. It is preventing someone I know from upgrading a tv, so that is why I would like to know.

Could you not bring it to a charity or give it away to a neighbour/friend? I doubt you'd have a hard time unloading a working 65" TV...

Ebay? Local area only, that is my suggestion.

If it's broken i'll just dump it in the river.

Hypotetichly speaking... if it happens to be near the window... it might drop at any moment... good for u... bad for insurance company.

I usually melt mine down into a bowel using a blowtorch into its original liquid metalic state. Then leave it outside for the birds to drink.

If the tv is still good see if a charity wants it. Thats what i do with thing like that that I don't need anymore and a lot of times the will pick it up at your place. If it is no good just put it out for garbage.

Sold 42" samsung CRT on Craig's list for $500. I got a good six years of HD out of it and got a 1/3 of the price back. Not bad. Plus now some college students have a good, calibrated HDTV.
