The Observation Deck

So I keep forgetting to call the recycling division for the answer I need, maybe somebody here knows. I have an old inoperable TV that I need to be rid of. I hate to just put it on the treelawn, isn't there some proper way I'm supposed to dispose of it? What might that be? It's been sitting in our foyer for over a week now and we're tired of tripping over it. Thanks in advance to whoever knows the answer.

Take it to the Recycling Center on Berea Road. They will properly dispose of it from there.

Yesterday I called the recycling center, they said sure, they'd take it. So I hauled it over this morning, and guess what? I ended up throwing it in the back of a garbage truck! Same result as if I had left it on the treelawn. Computers get sorted out and recycled in some fashion, but not TVs. Not sure why, but it is what it is.....

You ahould have brought it over to my house. We could have thrown it over the cliff and watch the tube explode.

Technically, I think it would have imploded, though the debris field would be the same in either case.

Thanks for the correction. No debris field, there is the river, it goes somewhere else! Clean and green!
