With so much rain lately it won’t be very hard to just leave it in a roadway ditch somewhere.

Put it out by the street so the Junk Man can pick it up at 2am.

Baby Tac said to buy a new TV, put the old one in that box and then return the old TV in the new box. Two birds, one stone.

Ok, so I keep seeing the return fraud jokes, but I missed the original thread. What did he say to do?

heard there's a simple way to remove tv components and make a light out of them . I don't know if thats legit or not
have end times come and I haven’t heard?? Just throw it in your trash, they will prob just throw it in the back. I give the guys about 100 bucks a year and will put iced down gatorades out a couple times a year. They will pick up anything I put out there.

Not a scrap yard. The guy who drives around on garbage night picking up shite other people throw away and loading it on the back of his pickup truck.

we all have trash men, some of us in our neighborhoods have a junk man who takes the appliances, aluminum gutters, waters heaters/ and sheet metal from our driveway and hauls it to the scrap yard.

I dunno, but every time I've put a TV by the street, the Junk Man has picked it up that night.

I live in the country. Anything too big for the garbage can gets thrown in a hole on the back of my property and burned.

NOT paying someone $30 to throw away your trash is one such option.

If you just bought a replacement, put it in the box your new one came in and place it out on the front porch.

Maybe some enterprising young teen may decide to haul it off for you and save you $30 at Best Buy.
