They've had this restriction on us for awhile now. We are not allowed to dispose of sets in the garbage, they have to be taken to a re-cycler, and they charge you to dispose of the set --up to 40 dollars depending on the size!!

Thrift stores won't take old sets because of the possibility they don't work or will fail before they are sold. They don't want to have to pay the recycling fees, so they just don't take them.

Makes for finding TVs around here difficult. Unless you have connections or can manage to hit all the estate sales before 10am --it just isn't happening.
