Now that the Federal Communications Commission has axed the analog signals for televisions, many, many TV’s will be pitched out as non-usable junk.   That’s why Goodwill cannot take any non-digital televisions.  Goodwill’s mission  is to repurpose and resell things.  

I made my first trip out to the ‘Solid Waste Facility’ out Apalachee Parkway and left a couple of non-operable CPU’s  with them  A very nice gentleman added my two to the enormous stack.  I regretted that I didn’t bring my Styrofoam (TM) which is also recycled there.

The Leon County’s Electronic Recycling Center is located at 7550 Apalachee Parkway and takes electronics of all types. More information at their website.

You can also rid yourself of electronic clutter: TV’s DVD players, cell phones, monitors, printers and any other electronic flotsam at the City’s semi-annual Cash for Trash on April 18th and receive two compact florescent light bulbs or a coupon for $5 off your City utility bill.  Details at the Green Calendar.
