If the television does not work and you want to get rid of it, the most practical thing to do is to deposit it in a clean point.

What to do with a broken smart tv

Don’t even think of going down to the trash can at home and just leaving it there. The truth is that the TV has many elements in its manufacture that are highly polluting, so you can’t just throw it in a landfill. It is even likely that some neighbors or authorities will call your attention to this. So find out how you can dispose of it properly.

It may be the case that the TV you are replacing is still in perfect working order. If this is the case, you can take the opportunity to mount a television in another part of the house where you did not have it, but if not, you may be able to decorate your home.

The old cathode tube televisions, with that huge background and that curved screen, lend themselves to be used as fish tanks or planters. It wouldn’t hurt to use it as a shelf to store Cd’s or movie DVDs either. Explore your creativity.

It is almost certain that in your city there are stores that buy second-hand objects and then resell them. It’s all about reaching an economic agreement. The Internet also has a multitude of portals for buying and selling everything imaginable, and perhaps you can place an ad for people to bid on. (Remember that there are many collectors). But do not rule out places that repair appliances, because that TV works as a source of spare parts, and this would be a good deal for both parties.
