Don't Throw Your TV Away

Posted By on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 12:07 PM

If you need to dispose of your old television now that stations have gone digital, save the landfill space, and bring your television (and other electronics you don't need) to Reid Park, 1000 S. Randolph Way, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, June 27. There will be a $10 disposal fee for working or nonworking televisions, but there's no fee for recycling other electronics.

For more infomation, visit www.tucsonaz.gov/tcb. You'll find a handy list of businesses and organizations that buy, sell, trade or accept computers, tvs, cell phones, printer cartridges and other electronics. There's also a comprehensive "Reduce-Reuse-Recycle" directory for Tucson and Pima County at www.tucsoncleanandbeautiful.org/rd. E-mail tcb@tucsonaz.gov or call 791-5000 for additional info.
