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.

I got a 100% accurate estimate from the owner and he dispatched a crew to clean out my house the next day (!). The guys were professional and very nice and personable, making a tough situation much easier to handle. Moreover, they worked until the job was done way over my expectations. This company has the best prices in our area and they are complete pros. I would recommend them to anyone...don't hesitate and call A+ first! They will be my first call in the future!

September 26, 2018I 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

Added 3/1/2020: So 18 months later I had to clean out a 2nd floor apartment and 3rd floor attic. This attic was stuffed floor to ceiling with junk and the apartment full of furniture. Sal had a crew there within 24 hrs of my call and cleaned it out in ONE DAY! They even swept up and went through with garbage cans to completely clean the house. I value good service and A+ always delivers...I recommend them to my friends and family and have now used them 3 times. Each time the price is far less than I expected and the work is way better than I'd expect. If you have a job that you're afraid to deal with...call them!!!!! It is the best call you'll ever make! They have always come through for me. Thank you!!!!

October 10, 2020I would rate over 5 stars if I could. A+ Enterprises is definitely A+! When we called them we were surprised to hear that they do same-day service, and they arrived quickly. The owner, Sal, is a wonderful guy who is honest and friendly. Everybody works very efficiently and is professional. Can't recommend them enough!
