Tip: get two or three quotes from local junk removal companies, and ask whether the price includes the dump fee and labor.

General tips for electronics

About half of U.S. states have electronics recycling laws, and several of them ban TVs, monitors and computers from landfills or household trash. Even where it is legal, old CRT TVs and monitors contain lead, so recycling is the better route.

Other options. Manufacturer and retailer take-back programs accept many devices, some for free. In states with e-waste laws, there are free collection sites funded by manufacturers; the Electronics Recycling Coordination Clearinghouse lists state programs. EPA's electronics page explains donation and certified recyclers. Wipe personal data first.

Before you go. Ask whether there is a fee for TVs or monitors (CRTs often cost more), and whether the site takes electronics every day or only at events.
