How do I dispose of an old console television?

From our mailbag:

How do I dispose of an old console television?

We checked with our Transfer Station colleagues to see whether it would be accepted there for recycling.  And, the answer is... yes, console televisions are accepted for recycling in our new television recycling program.

If you cannot transport the console television to the Transfer Station, and if you receive Montgomery County-provided trash service, then you may request a curbside bulk trash collection for this item.  The tradeoff is that while the television would be collected at your curb, it would not be recycled.

Thanks for asking!  Confirming the answer gave our Call Center staff and me the opportunity to expand our own knowledge.  And, as a result of your question, I have updated our television page to include console televisions.  So, dear readers, keep your questions coming!
