[P2assist] TV's

[Eileen Benson]

I have just joined the mailing list so I apologize if this topic has already
been discussed.
 
I am very interested in getting TV's out of landfills and recycled now so
that we are not overwhelmed in 2006 with the switch to digital.  A group in
my area has just set up with a recycler to take TV's for recycling and it
will cost $12 per set.  That seems very high to me and I know our budget
will not be able to cover that cost, nor will our residents be willing to
pay it themselves.  If we force it on them I am afraid we will just see more
TV's in creeks.
 
Does anyone have information on a more economical means of keeping TV's out
of the landfills and getting them recycled??
 
Thank you,
Eileen Benson
