Triangle, Va. — Have a new TV and don’t know what to do with the old one? A store in Triangle now offers free recycling for your old TV set.
H&I Electronics at 18805 Fuller Heights Road will take your old TV set for free when dropped off at their store.
Old TV sets are part of a growing e-waste problem in the U.S., where more than 65 million pounds of old electronics have been recycled since 2008. Older cathode ray tube TV sets contain lead, hexavalent chromium and mercury, and EPA officials urges residents to recycle them rather than tossing them out.
H&I Electronics asks that you call 703-221-8730 and make an appointment to drop off your old TV set.
