Did you get a TV for Christmas? Here’s where you can safely recycle your old one for free
Did you get a new TV for Christmas, but you’re not sure how to safely dispose of your old one?
Washington state residents can recycle their electronics for free through E-Cycle, a Washington Department of Ecology program.
Recycling centers accept televisions, desktop computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players from Washington residents and businesses with fewer than 50 employees. Only 10 electronic products can be recycled at a time. If you need to recycle more than 10 items, contact the department by calling 855-674-5871 or emailing info@wmmfa.net.
To find a free recycling center, visit E-Cycle’s website and enter your location to find a center near you.
