What changes the price
- Many states ban TVs and other electronics from landfills and require recycling, so haulers take them to e-waste recyclers, which may charge a fee.
- Old tube (CRT) TVs are heavy and contain leaded glass; they often cost more to recycle than flat screens.
- Wall-mounted TVs may need to be taken down first.
How to save
- Many states and some retailers run free electronics recycling drop-offs.
- Your city may hold e-waste collection days.
- Donate what still works: Habitat for Humanity ReStores and local charities take furniture and appliances in good condition, and some pick up for free.
- Check your city's bulk-trash pickup before paying a hauler; many cities collect large items a few times a year at no extra charge.
