How to get rid of an old TV or monitor
A TV or monitor should not go in a bin. Ask the shop delivering a new one to take the old one, or take it to a tip.
The shop selling the new one
Shops often collect your old TV when they deliver a new one. They must also offer a free way to recycle it, often by taking it back in store.
