Broken TV (1 Viewer)

My Zenith 32" TV broke yesterday. It won't power on at all. What do you guys do you with broken TVs? Do you just throw it in the dumpster?

 

[Jeremy Allin]

Heck no! You keep it and put a smaller, working TV on top of it.

Seriously, I've never had to dispose of a TV, but do you know of any special requirements for having it picked up with your usual garbage collection? Let them take it and deal with it.

There should be a recycling center in your area for such things. TVs and other electronics are toxic to landfills and need to be disposed of properly.

Maybe it has an in-line fuse?

What Leila said. Here in L.A. there are even services that pick up old TVs and computer monitors for proper disposal. Never simply toss one in a dumpster.
