Electronics recycling Place?

[ATOMonkey]

Where is an electronics recycling place near Plainfield? I need to get rid of an old TV and a broken DVD player and would like to keep them out of the trash.

Thanks in advance!

Put it on the curb and in the free section on craigslist put CURB ALERT FREE TV/ELECTRONICS and the address... It should vanish (scrappers) pretty quick.

Can you hold onto it for a while? Several organizations do electronics recycling, but usually not in the winter.

This place seems to be open year-around, and free:

I'm wondering what Indianapolis will do, now that it is illegal to throw away electronics in your trash. I haven't seen them offer any alternative yet.

Goodwill takes working and junk electronics.

What shibumiseeker said. Or try AMVets or the Salvation Army, if they still work.

Ok, I'll take them to the goodwill. I just didn't want to take them a bunch of junk. That didn't sound like a nice thing to do. If they don't mind if it works or not, then that would be the easiest thing for me to do.

My understanding they get a little for them for scrap value for nonworking electronics.

If you go craigs list, use your neighbors address and put them on their curb.

1 old TV on the curb = a new one in the house.

I use the ToxDrop site at the Perry Township Government Center behind the Shelby St fire station. (near Madison & Thompson) They make it convenient to get rid of all kinds of hazardous waste. You just drive up, fill out their form (name, address, and list of hazmat) and they'll unload your vehicle and get you on your way. You must be a resident of Marion County. This location is open the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 9am-2pm.

I was recycling my aluminum cans at OmniSource the other day & noticed a container full of old tv's , etc. They will take them but won't pay you for them, which is OK with me. I hate to put them in a landfill.

I will take your old laptop batteries if you got them
