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.

May 17, 2020I 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! 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!!!!

January 22, 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.

June 10, 2020Sal was great to work with. I was so stressed about a large deck in the back of my house that was collapsing. Sal came right over and gave me a very fair price and two days later the job was done. And a really good job. He even hauled away a piece of junk for me at the last minute. I highly recommend this company and plan to use them again as the need arises

Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! I recently moved to Pennsylvania and purchased a fixer upper in Luzern County. I had a large pile of debris from the house that I needed to get rid of. I called A+ Junk Removal and spoke with Sal. He was extremely professional and very personable. He was able to work with my schedule which was greatly appreciated. Sal also contacted me through text to remind me of my scheduled appointment. Joe and Andrew showed up on time to give me an estimate for my junk pile. They gave me a great price and got right to work. Both Joe and Andrew were very polite and extremely professional. Very friendly as well. They did an amazing job! I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to come and do this job for me. I am extremely appreciative for Sal, Joe and Andrew. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again on the future. Thank you so much A+ Enterprises!
