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 [1] four full-service drop-off centers. To find the location nearest you, go to [2] www.wipeoutwaste.com.
- Pay it forward. Drop your unused set off at [3] The Salvation Army (1011 Central Ave.). Check out their donation [4] valuation guide. Very helpful when you like to write off donations on your taxes.
- If your old set is history, [5] Crisis Assistance Ministry’s drive-through drop-off area at 500-A Spratt St. is also another great place to give.
Just in case you’re curious about this TV, keep reading below…
