Don't Create More Electronic Waste! You Do Not Need To Get Rid of Your Analog TV - After February 17, 2009, full-power television stations will broadcast in digital only.

Why can't I toss E-Waste in the trash?
Certain components contain materials that cannot be recycled or make them hazardous. If these items are disposed in landfills or, worse, dumped illegally, potentially toxic components may contaminate our ground water or pollute our environment. California law currently prohibits televisions and computer monitors from being disposed in the trash and subsequently landfilled or incinerated. Beginning in February of 2006 this law will apply to all e-waste. With limited landfill space it is always important to reduce, reuse, and recycle what you can.
