I had to pay $5 for them to take it off my hands, but that new HV lead is worth that cost, to me (and now I don't have to worry about causing an environmental hazard). I noticed when I went there, though, that the recycling center had a pallet full of '90s CRT TVs out in the back, so it kind of makes me wonder if I couldn't have called them up and asked if I could go looking for parts. Oh well, at least I got a set recycled that might have originally ended up in the dump, though.

All I see when I take one in is 80s-90s sets also. But they do not make you pay to drop one off.
Recycling of TV sets is done by the county waste centers in PA and usually get paid by the pound.
They are very uncooperative about you taking anything out.
