Evicting Your Ex-Box: How to Ditch Your Old TV in Las Vegas (Without Ending Up on CSI)
Let's face it, Las Vegas is a city of glitz, glam, and the latest and greatest. So, that dusty old TV in the corner? It's about as exciting as a mimosa at 8 am. But fear not, fellow desert dweller! There are several ways to give your tired TV the send-off it deserves (and keep yourself off the wrong side of the law).

| How To Get Rid Of Old Tv In Las Vegas |
Option 1: Embrace Your Inner Eco-Warrior (Recycling)
Las Vegas might be known for its over-the-top buffets, but that doesn't mean you can't be a little green. Recycling your old TV is the most responsible option, and luckily, there are a few ways to do it:
- Get Haul-ywood on the Phone: Nevada State Recycle offers drop-off for a fee, or you can even schedule a pick-up (perfect for those evenings when takeout and Netflix are more your speed).
- Give Back While You Clean Out: The Blind Center of Nevada offers free e-waste removal, with the proceeds helping a great cause. Just remember, they can't take those old chunky CRT TVs – they're more "retro" than "rockin'".
Remember: E-waste shouldn't go in your regular trash! These TVs have nasty chemicals that can pollute our lovely desert landscape.
Option 2: Unleash Your Inner Hustler (Selling)
Maybe your old TV isn't quite ready for the big sleep (or the recycling center). If it's still in decent nick, you can try selling it and make a few bucks for that inevitable Vegas vacation splurge.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
- Online Marketplaces: Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist are great options for finding a new home for your TV. Just be honest about its condition (no one wants a surprise static show) and price it competitively.
- Pawn Shops: Pawn shops are always looking for electronics, but be prepared – they might not offer you top dollar.
Word to the Wise: Be wary of lowball offers and sketchy characters. If someone asks you to meet them in a dark alley at 3 am, run!
Option 3: Channel Your Inner Marie Kondo (Donation)
Does your old TV still spark a little joy (maybe for someone who can't afford a new one)? Consider donating it to a local charity or thrift store. Just make sure it's in working order – no one wants a donation that's more doorstop than entertainment center.
Bonus Tip: Wipe down the TV and remove any personal information before donating. No one needs to see your old vacation photos (especially that questionable pool float incident).
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
