TV removal is a difficult task due to laws & regulations, but there are solutions!
For over 50 years, the CRT “tube” TV was the television of choice in the United States. As technology progressed and flat screen televisions were introduced, these tube TVs needed to be disposed of.
The problem with CRT televisions is that they are full of harmful chemicals & gases that can be released into the environment if disposed of improperly. This article will discuss the different options to help you get rid of your old television.
Illegal Dumping
While dumping your old television on the side of the road or in someone else’s dumpster may seem to be the easiest option, it is bad for the environment and illegal. A law passed by Pennsylvania bans TVs from being dumped in landfills as well as anywhere except for recycling centers.
TV Recycling Center
A DIY option to dispose of an old TV is to haul it yourself to a TV recycling center. These recycling facilities charge for dropping off your old TV. The prices for these recycling facilities range, but an average is between $30-$400 depending on the size and weight of the TV.
After your TV has been dropped off at a recycling center, it is sorted and shipped to a recycling facility. Unlike recycling scrap metal, TV recycling is not profitable so there is a cost for TV disposal.
Local Free TV Disposal
One of the best options that residents of Pennsylvania have for TV recycling & disposal is to wait until their local town runs an electronics recycling event. These events typically happen every year or so, and allow residents to drop off old TVs for free or a nominal charge.
The problem with these subsidized TV recycling programs is they only have a limited number of TVs they can accept per event. Combine this with the scarcity of these events, and it becomes a lottery to even get rid of your old TV! An example of this happening was in Dickson City, where the recycling event caused traffic jams & many people could not recycle their TVs.

Three men came and took everything I wanted to get rid of. They were professional and very nice. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you. I'll be calling again.

June 23, 2020EXTREMELY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL! Gave them a call to remove some old furniture and assorted boxes of junk. They said the had a crew in my area the next morning and could be here at 9am. Arrived right at 9 on the dot and got straight to work. They battled through all my cobwebs and work quick and efficiently. No trouble or damage from moving some big items in narrow areas. The price they quoted was great value for all the work they did. I have already and will continue to HIGHLY recommend them.

August 3, 2019Sal and his team were fantastic to work with. They were professional and arrived on time. Our scope of work was larger than originally estimated and they immediately dispatched an extra truck to finish up our job in record time. I would highly recommend them for all your removal needs.

August 25, 2020Awesome company! My uncle passed away, and we were cleaning out his house. We had a lot of items to donate to the Salvation Army. I called the Salvation Army but they couldn’t pick up for a month. I called A Plus & they came two days later. The Two young men who came to pick up were polite, respectful & very efficient. The price was reasonable too. I will definitely use A Plus in the future.

May 2, 2020Hard working guys got the job done in one day. I recently bought a foreclose property and have A+ Enterprises help do the clean up. Its a 3 bedroom house full of junk, and everything was gone at the end of the day. Image a house hoarders live in, 3 bedrooms, each with bed, dressers, night stand, TV and many other trash, you do not want to be in the room more than 1 minute. Kitchen full of dirty dishes, appliances and dining table with chairs. At the end of the day, whatever not bolted down was gone, including most of the nasty carpet. I will definitely use their service again. Great service and the hard working people.

I was looking for someone to haul away some things from a home remodeling project. I called A Plus and within 10 minutes I received an email and was able to call the owner right away. He sent his crew out the next day and took care of my hauling needs with a great price. I cannot tell you how pleased I am at the prompt, courteous service I received from both the owner and the crew. I highly recommend them. Mary Gadomski

June 4, 2020Sal and his team are amazing! They came and did a clean out the same day I called. They are honest, flexible, quick, and professional. They are worth every penny they charge. I wouldn't consider calling anyone else. Ryan K.
