Recycling Boob Tubes

Picked up a new flat panel? Going high-def? Instead of putting the old boob tube out by the curb, recycle it free of charge in October. OK, so there’s some effort, time and gas involved, but that's a small price to pay for not dumping more crap into your local landfill.

Hamilton County Environmental Services will take and recycle old televisions (all sizes, consoles and combo units), VCRs DVD players, DVRs, satellite receivers and cable receivers Oct. 11 and 12. Pre-registration is required by Sept. 25 by calling 513-946-7719 or on the agency’s Web site.

Participation is first-come first-served until the maximum capacity is reached. Two weeks prior to the event, those who register will receive directions and all the information needed to recycle.

Show up with more than two TVs and it’ll cost $30 per.

Out with the old and in with the new!
