Since our TV TakeBack campaign kicked off, we've been telling the TV manufacturers that consumers have lots of old TVs that we need to recycle, but that we don't have good, convenient recycling options.
Now it's time to show them.
Do you have an old TV you're trying to get rid of? Take a picture and send it to us, and we'll add it to our collection.
Include a sign with your message to the company that made your old TV. Feel free to dress it up (or dress you up) as you see fit. Creativity is encouraged. And don't forget to include a caption for your photo!
