Getting rid of old TV

Look for electronics recycling facilities near you. You can't throw TVs away and I doubt any charities will take non flat panel TVs. At least that's how it is where I live (Tennessee). Our city has an electronics drop off. Back when I lived in Louisiana, there were like 2 days a year when you could drop off electronics and other household hazardous waste.

Best Buy charges $25 per TV:

Put it out on the street. Some Mexican will come along in a couple of hours and haul it off on his back.
