Old HD Television Disposal Options in Hernando Beach and Beyond

Old HD television disposal. Doesn’t seem like much of a predicament, does it? That’s until you try it yourself. Make no mistake about it, this is one of the most difficult tasks to pull off. Why? There are a few different answers and they’re only the beginning. So, let’s take a look at old television disposal and how to do it right.

What to Know about Old HD Television Disposal

Old HD television disposal is made harder because most charities won’t even accept these electronics. Basically, charities do not want to incur the disposal fee. And, many are skeptical about these electronic devices simply because they aren’t in demand. In other words, it’s not easy to get rid of an old TV, even if it works perfectly fine.

Low commodities prices around the world are making life difficult for electronics recyclers, especially those struggling to get rid of toxic materials from obsolete television sets. The result: Old TVs being dumped in the trash or on the side of the road and e-recycling companies improperly disposing of them, including a company caught last year burying old TVs and other electronics devices in a 10-foot-deep hole in a field. And that is bad news for the environment. --NBC News

This is — in no small part — due to the fact that many hazard materials are found inside. These include, but are not limited to: lead, mercury, cadmium, leaded glass, copper, flame retardants, beryllium, and bisphenol-A. That’s plenty enough reason for most places not to accept old TVs.

All of this isn’t to say you’re outright stuck. There are things you can do with that flat panel television and move on with your life. Here are some helpful flat panel television disposal options you can use:

  • Sell it. Yes; even if it’s broken. Sure, it doesn’t work as it should. But, it’s still an electronic device. And, those parts inside are out there. Which means, it’s possible to sell it to someone who can repair it on their own. At the very least, you can part it out and put a little cash in your pocket.
  • Repair it. Okay, this isn’t probably at the top of your list (or even a consideration). But, repairing it might actually be a way to go. However, the cost of repair might well be too much to justify financially. Repair it and put it in a guestroom or somewhere else.
  • Donate it. You can also give that old flat panel TV to a local charity or school. If it’s in working condition, there are plenty of places which will accept this electronic as a gift. After all, it’s worthwhile to give it a try. (Shelters are also other places to try to give it away.)
