Getting Rid Of Your TV: The Problem With Television Disposal

So, did you get yourself a big, beautiful, new, large screen TV for Christmas? You weren’t alone. For thousands of people, Black Friday shopping might as well be known as “Big TV” shopping since so many of these units are sold then. Nonetheless, if you managed to get a nice model and a great deal on it, then congratulations on your purchase! But what about your old TV? It’s not like you can just put it into the trash. For one thing, it probably wouldn't fit. And, if your old unit is one of those ancient sets, you’ve got a bigger problem on your hands. In fact, you can’t even legally toss one of those old cathode ray tube (CRT) sets into a dumpster. And that includes those awkwardly large computer monitors that seemed to all come in some shade of beige! So, what do you do with them?

Disposal: Big Screen and Small At Junk King Peninsula, we provide an efficient, safe and eco-friendly television disposal service to make the whole process easy for you. And, because it’s a regular part of our junk removal business, we’re good at it! Those huge, flat-screen televisions present a disposal hazard, too. While they’re not as hazardous as those lead-filled glass CRTs, the newer large, flat-screen TVs still contain some toxins and hazardous materials, along with plastics, copper wiring, and circuit boards. Part of the problem with getting rid of these used "new" televisions, is the sheer bulk and size of the units. And, because old flat-screen television disposal can be a problem, it causes many owners to wonder what they should do with an old TV that still works? Sometimes these can be given back to the manufacturer or retailer. In fact, many major brands and retailers have programs for taking back old products, sometimes even if they no longer work. In addition, some retailers offer collection programs for recycling flat-screen televisions. Of course, recycling is always the best option for old televisions that do not work.

New Life for Old TVs - Television Disposal by Recycling and Being Green

“Being green” is something you hear often, especially from businesses here in the greater Bay Area. But at Junk King Peninsula, being green is a fundamental part of our business model and our mission, not just a calculated marketing slogan. That’s because we’re deeply committed to keeping as many of your items as possible out of landfills - including old televisions. In fact, we’re the only national junk removal company with the goal of recycling 60 percent or more of every junk removal job we carry out by using local sorting facilities. Junk King is proud to be the greenest junk removal service in North America. We pioneered recycling-based junk removal back in 2005 when the company was started, and we’ve been going green ever since. For example, when it comes to television disposal, we’ll make sure that your TV is disposed of at a proper recycling facility so that it cannot harm our ecosystem.
