Ok so I did this today. I got rid of my mom's 27" and my mother in laws 19" as we upgraded them both to 37" Panasonic LCD's. Anyways how you do it is you go inside and get a flat cart they have by the registers and take it out to your car and load the TV's on there. Wheel it inside the store and go to the customer service area in front. Its costs you $10 per TV, but they give you a Best Buy gift card for $10 for each TV so its kind of a wash. They take the TV's from you right there. If you need help loading the TV's on the cart from your car, you can ask for assistance. Pretty simple, quick, and green way of getting rid of unwanted TV's.

That sounds like a good deal for those getting rid of their old TVs.
My wife and I added an HD LCD to our living room, and a 19" HD LCD for the bedroom, but we're using the rest of the older sets. We have DirecTV so that helps, and we also have the converters which we picked up a month ago, if we need them.
We now stand at 2 HDs, and 4 analogs, between here in Rockford, and up at the lake.
We're not going HD at the lake for now. When sets wear out, we'll consider options at that time.
Since we don't have any to dispose of, I'll keep this in mind for the future though.
Thanks for posting it!

Every once and a while there's an "electronic recycling weekend" no charge, just open your trunk and they'll even take it out for you. You just have to tell them what you're dropping off.

I thought that was what West Virginia was for. You simply load you car with an old TV and drive to West Virginia and dump the old TV in our Country's number one dumping ground.   |

That would be Indiana not WV.
Just find a nice looking river with a river road and push whatver you have off into the rushing water. Works like a flush toilet.
