Short of dumping my old LCD TV in a dumpster, I can't figure out how to get rid of my broken 40in+ LCD television. Ideally I would like to dispose of it in a responsible matter, but haven't identified any way to do so. Best Buy doesn't accept TV's larger than 32 inches, and my county utilities authority that recycles doesn't accept them. Surprisingly a Google search doesn't turn up any useful answers. Anyone have any suggestions? I can't believe it's so difficult, they are practically begging people not to recycle large flat screen TV by making it so difficult. Maybe I could get a electric saw and cut the flat screen into four pieces, it will be after all smaller than the Best Buy 32 inch restriction.

Call Office Depot or Staples and see if they take them otherwise put it on the curb with a note that says broken. It should be gone before dusk or dawn.
Take it to Best Buy. They recycle all electronics for free!
Obviously you didn't ready my post, Best Buy will not take any TV larger then 32 inches, they will pick up larger TV's if you buy a large screen TV from them and have there Geek squad install it for you, but I'm not buying another TV I don't need to get rid of an old one.

I've actually some success in the free section with hard to get rid of items, I got rid of a non working record player from the 70's that was like furniture and a bunch of truck rims that still had tires on them that were bad. Make sure that's where you put it as people looking for free stuff go there.
