Congress has set June 12, 2009 as the final deadline for terminating analog broadcasts. It is estimated that 284 million television sets will be required to switch to the digital signal.
For those of you who will enter the digital world with a new television, we want to remind you that there are options for disposing of the old one. Since analog televisions merely require cable, a satellite dish, or a conversion box to obtain a digital signal, you can donate your old television to charities. With the slow economy, families may be looking for a donated television set.
However, if you choose to dispose of your old television set, please do so with a responsible electronics recycler. Because televisions, computers and other electronics contain materials such as lead, cadmium and mercury, which can pose a risk to human health and the environment, it is important that you are guaranteed that your electronic unit will be recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
El Sobrante Landfill can help you recycle your television set in a responsible manner. Since 2003, our e-waste partner at the landfill has been a certified member of the Basel Action Network (BAN). BAN is a global organization that works to stop the unethical disposal of electronic materials. The BAN E-Stewards certification guarantees that companies that have been certified follow the highest standard of environmental and social responsibility.
Drop off your old television for free at El Sobrante Landfill! Just show the scale house attendant identification (like a drivers license) that shows that you are a Riverside County resident and you will be guided to our electronics-recycling drop off area.
We are open to the general public, Monday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Pretty simple and you can leave with the comfort that we will recycle your TV in a responsible manner!
