What we found: You’re right, recycling a TV isn’t easy — for the recycler or for the recipient.
- A fee is typically required because it’s “manually intensive to disassemble before they can move on downstream,” SWACO spokesperson Hanna Greer-Brown tells Axios.
Some options, if you still want to recycle:
- Accurate IT Services, 3854 Fisher Road
- Avay, 4545 Groves Road
- Best Buy locations
- Columbus Metal Recycling, 533 N. Nelson Road
- Columbus Micro Systems, 5087 Westerville Road
- Micro Center, 747 Bethel Road
- SWACO Recycling Convenience Center, 2566 Jackson Pike
The intrigue: SWACO is “looking at ways to remove fees for a variety of things we collect,” Greer-Brown says.
