Disposal of old TV

[natalee54]

Hello, 

I'm looking for some advice please. 

I have an old TV, which I have tried to rehome, but no-one seems to want it, fair, as it's not a smart tv. But I'm now looking at how to dispose of it?

I've contacted a charity to collect but they haven't got back to me. It's too big for the WEE recycling bins and I don't have a car to get to the tip with it. Southwark want £35 to collect it, which seems very extreme. 

Does anyone have another suggestion that I haven't thought of please? 

Many Thanks, Natalie

I've got one to get rid of, its digital but not smart so hoped that someone would like it for a PlayStation.  I assume you tried to give it away through this site.

Otherwise it will have to be disposed of properly, perhaps a neighbour is going to a tip, where there will be a facility there.  I think most boroughs you don't have to pay if you bring it over.  If you have a street WhatsApp that may help

Hello malumbu, 

I have tried to get rid of it through this site too. I thought the same that it might be ok for a kids room, to watch dvd's or something. But apparently not. 

I also listed it on the facebook group of the estate I live on. I don't have to pay if I take it to the tip myself no. But I cant physically get it there on buses and trains. I'm fairly fit, but its just not feasible. 

I'm not sure if there is a whatsapp group for my street, or how I'd even go about finding one. Thanks though!

Can I suggest offering it for free on Gumtree.

Thanks Jazzer. I will give gumtree a go. 

I wasn't asking for any money on the other sites I've advertised it on. But hadn't thought of gumtree.  Thanks.
