Goodwill no longer accepts old box TV sets

Anyone thinking about donating an old box TV to Goodwill is being asked to think again.

Because of low demand and difficulty recycling older picture-tube televisions, MERS/Goodwill has discontinued selling them.

Goodwill still accepts flat-panel TVs, computers and peripheral computer devices such as keyboards. The organization also still accepts cellphones, home phones, clocks, VCRs, DVD players, stereos, cable and satellite boxes and other devices with a plug, cord or battery.
