Time to Recycle!

I had a television that gave up the ghost. It was a good one, 23″ and about that many pounds, one I rescued from a garage sale eight years ago and put to good use in my Dunnellon home. I gave it to Mom and Dad but Sal and I replaced it with a better one soon after, so it sat dormant in a back room until I asked for it back this fall when I moved into my own place again. I think it lasted three weeks before it started turning itself on in the middle of the night. When Marion County recently had an electronics recycling day, I queued up to say sayonara to the freaky tv and was surprised to see these palletized stacks of old computer monitors being shrinkwrapped and loaded into semis. I do hope they’re going to a good cause! Out with the old technology and in with the new: I replaced my tv with a flat screen version, that’s all the stores stock today!

  Sounds like that TV need to be “Exorcised” instead of “Recycled”! Thanks for taking it to the recycle instead of filling up the landfill. I wish more people would be that concientious.
