So Long, Farewell, and Thanks for All the Pixels: How to Dispose of Your Beloved (or Not-So-Beloved) TV in Melbourne
Let's face it, Melbourne. Our TVs are like long-term relationships – they've been there for movie nights, endless reality TV marathons, and questionable late-night infomercials. But, just like any relationship, sometimes it's time to say goodbye. The question is: how do you dispose of your old TV without it ending up in a landfill, and without your dodgy taste in reality TV becoming public knowledge?
Don't Trash It, Repurpose It (If You Dare)
Before we dive into recycling, let's explore some creative options, because hey, one man's trash is another man's... well, maybe not treasure, but something mildly useful?
- The Retro Art Project: Channel your inner hipster and turn that old TV into a funky piece of art. With a little paint and some elbow grease, you could create a conversation starter for your next gathering (although, explanations about "The Hills" might be required).
- The Ultimate Pet Cam: Is your cat plotting world domination from the living room couch? Repurpose that old TV into a pet cam and keep an eye on your furry (or feathery) friend's shenanigans. Just be prepared for endless entertainment (or existential dread, depending on your pet).
Alright, Alright, You Win. Recycling Time!
Look, we all know those repurposing ideas are a bit out there. Luckily, Melbourne has a bunch of fantastic options for recycling your old TV in an eco-friendly way.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.

Feeling charitable (and avoiding manual labour)? Head to your nearest e-waste collection point. Remember, it's FREE (thanks, Australian Government!) and good for the environment. Find your closest drop-off point using the magic of the internet (or by asking a teenager – they seem to know everything these days).
The Pick-Up Patrol:
Don't feel like lugging that old TV around? Several companies offer pick-up services for a small fee. Just be sure to shop around to find the best deal (and one that won't judge your questionable taste in TV).
