So You've Reached Peak TV... But What About the Old One? A Fresno Farewell to Your Former Flat-Screen Friend
Let's face it, Fresno. We all love our TVs. They bring us the joy of award shows (with questionable fashion choices), the heart-pounding thrill of reality dating (who knew finding love could be so dramatic?), and of course, the educational value of watching paint dry (hey, it's relaxing!). But even the best TV romances eventually fade, and then you're stuck with a giant, dusty ex in the corner. Fear not, fellow Fresnans! There's a happily ever after for your old TV, and it doesn't involve selling it online to someone with the username "SneakySnake42."
Here's how to dispose of your TV in Fresno, with a little less "tragedy" and a little more "comedy."
