I was glad to read about this at News4Neighbors.com, especially since our upstairs TV is about to die. You can now recycle your TV in SE:
Bear eCycling has opened a television recycling depot at their SE Portland facility at 4532 SE 63rd Avenue. "Ever since we got listed on the Metro Recycling Hot-line as a recycler who can handle televisions, the phone has been ringing quite steadily." says company president Oso Martin, “As a commercial recycler, our trucks are really too large [to] provide cost effective pick-up from residential customers, so instead we created the public drop off option." ...
The increasing demand for TV recycling looks to only get larger as all broadcast television signals will be switched over to Digital Television (DTV) on Feb. 27, 2009, making all non-DTV units obsolete.
Yay for you, Oso! We may be seeing you sooner than later.
