We considered a flat screen for Christmas, but as we are considering a move this summer, thought we would wait until after then. If the old tv holds out until then!<BR/>Luckily we have a very large recycling center that takes just about everything right in our town, including electronics. No fee. Just drive in the building and put your stuff in the appropriate containers. Quite handy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-30388906181940452452009-01-12T11:19:00.000-05:002009-01-12T11:19:00.000-05:00Great idea Donna!

They may become DVD player monitors next month. We have one Digital TV so we won't be completely without TV when they make the switch. Guess I'm hoping they delay it for a while longer. I heard they might.Karen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431657757688742128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-22326726328703869652009-01-12T05:52:00.000-05:002009-01-12T05:52:00.000-05:00Hello my friend.

It's so huge! They bus kids in on field trips for enviromental "teaching" of how to recycle. I went a couple years ago as a teachers helper with my daughters class helping with a group of 10 kids and was blown away with the place!<BR/><BR/>This is it's site: <A HREF="http://www.chicagogradelandfill.com" REL="nofollow">Chicago Grade Landfill</A>. It costs us nothing to take old computers but some things they do charge you for. I feel good knowing we try to do "our" part in recycling! KUDOS to you for disposing properly!LauraBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258362594795521897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-73337834663016124682009-01-11T16:06:00.000-05:002009-01-11T16:06:00.000-05:00That's great you were able to help someone else at...That's great you were able to help someone else at the same time!

I'm so glad to know you, and I will tell Patti what you said. I don't know when or if she'll ever go back, but I'm so glad she went this time. Her dad has been ill for a very long time, and each time they think; well, you know.

I was checking online, trying to figure out how to recycle the stuff and saw on the county's website that a roundup was coming up. It's been the first one we've know about for about 3 years! It was finally advertised in the local paper just a week beforehand. You might want to call your county or local Best Buy and see when they are going to have one in your area.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-59044220950480938362009-01-11T15:56:00.000-05:002009-01-11T15:56:00.000-05:00We have several tv's that all work but just fill u...We have several tv's that all work but just fill up space in our shed.<BR/>Glad you were able to send yours out.<BR/>Decluttering is always a good thingA Bite of Country Cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337808881393976817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-36063136958517131982009-01-11T15:42:00.000-05:002009-01-11T15:42:00.000-05:00They had a pick up in our county last month, I fou...They had a pick up in our county last month, I found out about it about a week afterwards.
