Televisions

Do not put televisions and other electronics in your curbside recycling.

In Ohio, there is no ban on placing televisions and electronics in the regular trash but recycling options do exist. Best Buy stores will recycle tube TVs (up to 28”), flat panel TVs (LCD, plasma, LED, smaller than 50") and portable TVs for a $25 fee per item. Many other types of electronics equipment are free. There is a limit of three TVs per household per day. See details.

Special Collection Events

Seasonally, the Solid Waste District holds special collection events for Cuyahoga County residents to recycle televisions. There may be a fee for this service. In 2023, TV collection events are completed for the year. Dates for 2024 have not been announced. Details and registration are posted one month prior to a scheduled event. Registration is required.

If you choose not to recycle your television, it can be placed in the regular trash for disposal. Check with your city service department or waste hauler for details about bulk waste collection. Depending on the size of the item, you may be required to take your television to a waste transfer station for disposal.
