Two days ago, my 6 year old rear projection tv (60" screen) broke. There is sound but not picture. Fixing it will cost at least a few hundred, and I don't want to invest. Instead, I ordered a new flat screen lcd tv.
Now, I am faced with finding a way to get rid of this MONSER/BEAST of a television. Obviously, nobody wants it because it is broken. Tried Craigslist to give it away . . no takers.
Can I bust this thing up into pieces and put it in the dumpster? I heard there are a few parts that I Can not throw out. What parts are they? What do they look like? Can I throw the rest out?
Any other suggestions on how to get rid of this thing? It is insane that companies did not make a way for these to easily come apart for travel and moving purposes.
UPDATE: The town recycling center will accept it for $10.00, however transportation is still a major issue.
Is there any way I can take this apart (without disturbing too much of the innerds) to make it easier to remove from my home and transport to the recycle center?
1-800-Got-Junk wants about $200 to come take it away, and I think that is a bit much.
