1. Test the set you want to get rid of to see if it still works. If it's functional, you can donate it to a charity organization like Goodwill, the Salvation Army or a local senior center or shelter. Even if the set isn't digital ready, a converter box can be used to make it work for very little cost.
2. If it's not in working order, call your local recycling center for information about e-waste recycling. Most locations are offering free e-waste programs several times per year, or they can lead you to the right place for more information.
3. Visit a website like earth911.com and type in your zip code to get a list of e-waste recycling programs in your region.
4. The following manufacturers offer take-back programs and will accept your old TV for free at stores where their products are sold: Sony, Samsung, LG (includes Zenith and GoldStar), Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba.
