So….slimmer, sleeker, thinner, higher definition…and cheaper!  What more could you want in a new TV?  Well, you might want to consider whether or not the manufacturer will take it back when you’re done with it!  Do you have any old TVs already stored away in your closet?  Well, now more and more companies are taking back  their old products, and that is a good thing because if they have to deal with the old stuff, they’ll make it less toxic and easier to recycle.

How do you know if a company takes it back?  Do they have a good recycling program?  Check out the Electronics TakeBack Coalition’s TV Manufacturer Report Card here.

And what do you do with your old TV?  You can’t just throw it away!  These things are toxic!  Check out this Consumer’s Guide to Recycling Your Old TV.

Don’t buy it if they won’t take it back!!!
