Yes I'm aware it says resident. Surely you know someone who lives in Fairfax County. It's quite big with 1 mil + in residents last I checked. And if not I'm sure the family and friends I still have in the area would gladly go with or for you if it meant those tv's being disposed of properly. Otherwise I'd highly suggest charging a disposal fee, or just not accepting them. Actually I take that back..use a freaking screwdriver, or drill or whatever if your going to accept them and then leave'm on the curb. Certainly is a tad more professional and look a helluva lot better.

Jus' saying..

Or hey, I'll be up that way in Sept. $7 a tv/monitor and I'll take'm back with me! :P An yes I'll still save you a cold one from the traveling cooler G. We can disagree and all still get along!

Sirscrapalot - Not a fan of going all smashy smash on tvs/monitors.

I appreciate you taking the time to look it all up. However, that is the landfill that I use, as they are the cheapest in the area, but accept EVERYTHING as you know already, im sure.

I pay what i consider a small amount to get rid of a trailer load of tvs.



Also, I dont make a mess. Only mess that you see on the tvs is a medium sized hold in the back. When I am done, I shove the broken plastic back into the carcass, and to the landfill it goes, or to the trashmen.

To be honest, been a long time since i gave any to the trash guys. Normally, i break the TVs down from the junk jobs on spot, and away they go.

And yes, before someone says something, my clients do ask me sometimes why i do it. I tell them, and they tell me that is a good idea.
