Two million TV sets are discarded every year - most end up in landfill sites

What else can I do with them?

If your television or monitor is in good working order, you could donate to a worthy cause.

  • Freecycle is a non-profit movement that encourages people to give things for free in their local community.
  • A local school, community project or youth organisation may be glad to take your television or monitor.

You may also be able to sell your television or monitor - try advertising in a local paper or notice board.

Donating monitors

Monitors can also be donated to charities who welcome donations of computer equipment. Go to our Computer recycling page for details
