What to do with your old television - Mecklenburg County, North Carolina

Out with the old…

…in with the new


February rings in a new age of television viewing.   So, if you took the plunge and upgraded to one of those beautiful flat-screen high-definition televisions, what the heck are you going to do with that old set you’re no longer using?

  • Whatever you do, don’t dump it in a landfill.  Because they contain lead, TV tubes can pose environmental and health risks.  
  • Mecklenburg County has four full-service drop-off centers. To find the location nearest you, go to www.wipeoutwaste.com.
  • Pay it forward.  Drop your unused set off at The Salvation Army (1011 Central Ave.).  Check out their donation valuation guide.  Very helpful when you like to write off donations on your taxes.
  • If your old set is history, Crisis Assistance Ministry’s drive-through drop-off area at 500-A Spratt St. is also another great place to give.
