Ask Axios: Where can you recycle a TV for free in Columbus?

What we found: You're right, recycling a TV isn't easy — for the recycler or for the recipient.

• A fee is typically required because it's "manually intensive to disassemble before they can move on downstream," SWACO spokesperson Hanna Greer-Brown tells Axios.

Some options, if you still want to recycle:

• Accurate IT Services, 3854 Fisher Road
• Avay, 4545 Groves Road
• Best Buy locations
• Columbus Metal Recycling, 533 N. Nelson Road
• Columbus Micro Systems, 5087 Westerville Road
• Micro Center, 747 Bethel Road
• SWACO Recycling Convenience Center, 2566 Jackson Pike

The intrigue: SWACO is "looking at ways to remove fees for a variety of things we collect," Greer-Brown says.

💭 Alissa's pro tip: If your TV still works, the Salvation Army accepts donations — and they'll come pick it up for free!
