E-Recycling

Analog TV Recycling Guide Provided by 
Doctor Sound Home Theater, Inc.

Consumer participation is crucial to the success of recycling programs, and we would like to facilitate that effort. In support of the recycling movement, we have compiled a list of options for eco conscious consumers.

The impending DTV requirement provokes many questions, among them is the dilemma over TV disposal.

The solution is to RECYCLE IT!

If you decide to buy a new digital TV and no longer want your old analog TV, look for opportunities to donate or recycle it. Recycling TVs recovers valuable materials from the circuit boards, metal wiring, leaded glass, and plastics. Call your local household hazardous waste collection and recycling program to find out whether they will be sponsoring an upcoming event to recycle TVs and other electronics. You can also check out the following Web sites to find  recycling program near you:

	Earth 911 www.earth911.com/electronics Earth 911’s zip‐code based search engine enables you to find recycling and reuse options in your community for a variety of products.
	National Recycling Coalition www.nrc‐recycle.org/localresources.aspx This page provides links to state recycling resources. Many communities have special collection and recycling days that are highlighted on their Web sites.
	My Green Electronics www.mygreenelectronics.org On this Consumer Electronics Association site, you can learn more about purchasing “green” electronic products and search for recycling opportunities.

*Identifying resources and locations for electronics recycling does not constitute EPA’s endorsement of the services.

For many working electronic products, donation is a good option because it facilitates reuse and extends the product life. However, with the switch to digital broadcasting, many charitable organizations may no longer be accepting analog TVs. Please check with the organization before you drop off your analog TV.

For a greater good – Dr. Sound will remove unwanted television(s) from a consumers’ home when a new product is purchased and installed by Dr. Sound. With your permission, unwanted TV’s are taken at the time of new TV installation.  The TV(s) are then taken to third‐party recycling partners. *Some fees may apply. The recycling institution ensures that the extracted parts are sent to be recycled and repurposed into new products.
