    Where To Take E-waste Like TVs In The Florence Area?

    Recently VitalBodies was asked where to take E-waste like old broken TVs in the Florence area.

    The answer is simple – The Dump. Luckily the dump In Florence is not really a dump but a transfer site and recycling center.

    They are now taking many types of E-waste free of charge!

    Old TVs have fire retardants and heavy metals inside and are radioactive at the very least.

    Many people remember when they did not take E-waste so the transfer site is not the first place they might think of.

    Have other recycling tips and suggestions?

    Are You Recycling Compact Florescent Bulbs?

    They contain small amounts of Mercury so we all should be, but where do we take them?

    True Value Hardware, Ikea, and Home Depot take them and other Hardware stores might be accepting them also.
