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.

Awesome 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.

EXTREMELY 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.

Sal 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.

December 5, 2019Top notch. I called and spoke with a Guy named Sal. Very friendly and excellent Customer Service, 100%. I was set up in minutes. The pricing was great. Delivered it next day. When it was time for pick up I advised that I would be working and not able to hear the door so just knock hard. I went out on my Lunch break wondering what the heck? And the Dumpster was gone. Great service. Great Price. I called about 6 Dumpster Rental places and of all of them, A+ Was definitely the best and Props to Sal. Great Service. Truly is A+
