In Massachusetts, you cannot throw TVs in the regular trash; they must be recycled at approved facilities or through special collection events, using resources like RecycleSmart MA, Earth911, or your town's website for local options like drop-offs, mail-backs, or retailer take-backs (e.g., Best Buy). Older CRT TVs are especially hazardous due to lead and require proper handling, often at designated e-waste events or facilities.

Expanded polystyrene foam (aka Styrofoam) does NOT belong in your recycling bin. Can't stand the thought of throwing it away? Try reusing it or find a drop-off location using Beyond the Bin. If you can't find an alternative recycling outlet, please put it in the trash.
