Any ideas for getting rid of old televisions? Any recycling options in Brandon?

The landfill out on victoria east has an electronic waste area, doesn't cost anything if I remember correct.  
 
Some of the computer shops accept them as e-waste as well for no fee, I haven't had a truckload in a while but in the past i dropped off at brandon computers, i would call them first just to make sure they still accept.

the landfill has an electronics recycling area inside the yard, just drive on the scale and tell them you have e-waste, or just a TV, they will tell you where the pile is. there's no charge, since we pay deposits on all electronics that we buy, which pays for this service.  
 
Last time I was there, the pile was enormous with all manner of TV's and broken electronic stuff.

There are fees, ranging from a few cents to something like $25.00 for a TV.  
 
Canadian tire conveniently avoids the word 'fee' , but it shows up as "EHF"  
 
A lot of retailers have return to POP programs, too.

There is a computer place just off 18th and Pacific that will take old electronics. Just go in and talk to them.

When did they start charging 25 dollars to drop a TV off.

I can't say for certain but I think the person was referring to the recycle fee we pay on items at the time of purchase

myITsource on Pacific Ave take all old electronics. They aren't stripped down for parts or anything. Once its dropped off by someone it has to be put into the bin for recycling and not robbed of parts.  
 
Just go into the store and tell someone you have some electronics to recycle and they will either open the big sea can and put it in or put it into the back of the shop until there is a pile to go to the sea can.  
 
Its all free for the customer.

I have like 4-5 of these old TVs taking up space. Don’t have a vehicle to get rid of them. Anyone wants them they can come pick them up.

take old TV's to Best Buy drop off there no charge:

Sell it on ebrandon!

which worked perfectly and I couldn't sell it (it was free) and it wouldn't fit in the trunk of my car - also too heavy for an old guy to lift and carry so got a disposal ticket from city hall (it was $10 last year) and had a couple of helpful younger neighbours carry it to the curb - attached disposal ticket - city hall had told me when to place it at the curb - it was picked up by city crew the next morning. I have also given away older furniture that was in vg condition but wouldn't sell - Refit centre picked it up for free.
