  3. Texas Recycles TVs (manufacturer TV recycling)State program · TexasConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    State law requires TV manufacturers selling in Texas to register with TCEQ and collect and recycle a market-share quantity of consumer TVs. TCEQ's brand list links to each manufacturer's recycling page; it does not run collections itself.

    Cost & rules
    • Look up your TV brand on the TCEQ list and follow the manufacturer's instructions. If no option is listed, contact the manufacturer; other brands' programs may also accept it.
    • Manufacturers that have met their yearly market-share quota do not have to offer more collection.

Before you go

  1. Note whether it’s a flat screen or an older CRT (tube) set; many programs price them differently.
  2. Ask whether a cracked screen or broken glass changes the price or handling.
  3. Confirm the total cost, including any visit fee, before you load it.
