" I just take the old 25" tvs to recyling and get 6 cents a pound....100 pound TV....$6.00....take in 3 or 4 at a time it adds up. "
I wish I could get that much for a non working TV or Computer Monitor , most commercial recyclers will charge a minimum of $ 25 to drop any thing off , or only take bulk loads from companire , schools , towns etc.
In My town it is $ 25 min. pre paid to the town for a pick up .
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts DEP
regulations prohibit the disposal of computer
monitors and televisions in the rubbish, due to the
lead content in the cathode ray tubes.
The Town of Natick will collect and recycle
these items. Computers and televisions are
$25.00 each . and are collected as bulky waste.
In the used furniture store locker We won , there were 3 tv's , two we had to smash the out of the console and pay $ 25 each to dump . ( I have a free source , but not in volume or right now )
As for My area for a quick sale Tv's $ 25. washer and dryer $ 50 ea. , those shopping on Craig's don't want to spend much for regular items .
You see them advertised for a lot more , but the adds just keep getting renewed week after week
