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.
Don’t throw away your old television! Working TVs can be sold or donated; broken TVs can be recycled for free at E-Cycle collection locations. Find one near you at https://t.co/FDf80SwJmz, or call 1-800-RECYCLE (1-800-732-9253).#eCycleWA #electronicsrecycling #recycle pic.twitter.com/u9ymNmxcNN

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.
