How to Recycle Television in DFW
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around the corner, televisions are among the most sought-after items on shoppers’ lists. However, what is the proper way to dispose of your old TV? TVs can contain lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and barium, which are hazardous materials that pose significant risks to both human health and the environment if not disposed of properly. When these substances are improperly discarded, they can leach into the soil and water, leading to contamination that can affect local ecosystems and communities. Therefore, it is crucial to handle the disposal of old TVs with care, ensuring that they are recycled through appropriate channels.

Local Recycling Options
At United Electronic Recycling, we provide a convenient drop-off location for all residents of Dallas-Fort Worth. Residents are welcome to drop off any broken/obsolete television at our facility in Coppell for recycling. We charge a recycling fee of $25 for each TV, regardless of its size or model. Additionally, we collaborate with the City of Plano to organize electronic recycling events every first, second, and third Saturday of the month. The recycling fee remains applicable for our community recycling events. These events are open to everyone and provide another opportunity to responsibly dispose of your electronics.
DFW Recycles Day 2025
In appreciation of our customers, we will be hosting a free electronic recycling event at our facility in Coppell. All DFW residents are welcome to bring their electronics for recycling. Normally, we have electronic recycling fees for televisions, CRT monitors, printers, copiers, and fax machines; however, on January 8th, we will be waiving all fees. The event will be divided into two sessions: a morning drop-off from 7:30 am to 11:30 am and an afternoon drop-off from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
