Sad Fact:

If you can't find a dumpster to (sneak) it into (most curb-side trash
pickup won't take it), be prepared to pay about $5 at a "Take it Back"
processing facility.

According to what I've recently heard on the local news, it cost more to
process a TV or monitor, than they can get out of the heavy metals.

If I try to take my old TV to a local land fill, and they notice it in my
load (they screen what goes into the site) they will charge a similar fee.

If your like me (cheap), try to take it back to an appliance store
(hopefully where you purchased your new TV) and ask them to dispose of it.
There may come a day where they are required to take it back, similar to
batteries or tires.

My experiences for what it's worth.
