this isn't helpful at all but hilarious. While shopping at a Goodwill (hello my name is Sherry and I'm addicted) I noticed some young men loading old tvs in a truck and on a trailer. I mean like 35 tvs! The pallet was marked 1 penny must buy all. I said to myself, "now what in the world could hey be going to do with those old sets?" So me being me....asked. One looked at me a sheepishly grinned and said "well something we probably ought not do". I said "target practice? ". They died laughing and said "yes!" I said "hey, I'm in, let's go". I just thought it was funny! So bottom line is you can make nice pistol targets...at least in South Carolina...
Jails on West Coast require TVs to be from their source only, cause they are afraid of what people put inside to smuggle illicit stuff inside the jail.
some computer places, like Staples, will accept the smaller ones to recycle. Or call a recycling center to see if they know of who will accept them. Its pretty difficult to get rid of those old box tvs now. Also, maybe post on your local facebook group and see if any scrappers want them. People will strip the stuff from inside that are worth money and toss the rest.

My Dad took the old TV stuff out of a wooden console TV put his new flat screen inside and it looked like it came that way. He may have had to put a piece of wood under the flat screen to bring it up into the "window" but it looks wonderful and my sister still uses it.
When my brothers and I were preteens, my Dad turned took out the inside , added doors and a lock and turned it into a liquor cabinet. im serious! to keep us from being tempted I guess.
Could you stack them and make a funky bookcase. It might real interesting if the largest was on bottom, and progressively got smaller with a tiny plastic portable on top..... funky pyramid. Paint the insides bright colors and put in cabinet puk lights to showcase your collectibles.
I have had this reel mower sitting next to my shed for years. It is cute but does anyone have any ideas that would make it a really fun accessory for the backyard. Th...

Remove all the guts and the screen. Then add some padding and pillows for a TV dog bed!

remove the insides and slide in a fish tank. !!!
Call your local Landfill... it's illegal to throw old electronics into the trash, but your local Landfill can accept them for disposal.

All good ideas.
We just brought ours to a recycle centre. They strip them down for parts, and the proceeds go to help children's charities.
