Promotions like this are far from revolutionary, but with piles of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes about to consume any remaining free space in your home, we figured you may as well get $100 back for that ancient TV sitting on the junk pile. Effectively immediately, anyone that drops off an old television for recycling (locations listed
here) will receive a $100 coupon towards the purchase of a BRAVIA HDTV. Unfortunately, the coupon is only valid at Sony Style stores, at SonyStyle.com or through Sony's telesales office, and any non-Sony dropped off will lower the coupon's value by "$25 - $50." So yeah, we appreciate the effort here, but the terms and conditions aren't exactly the most desirable.

nice try. go back to the drawing board and try again... 100 less for a 1000+ tv? sounds real crummy to me...

can you combine coupons? I can get ahold of over 30 old piece of junk tvs. Can I trade these in for a pile of coupons which can be combined to buy a brand new hdtv?

The great state of New Jersey (sarcasm if you couldn't tell) has already thought of the TV recycling problem. They will be charging a $10 tax when you buy a new TV to take of the recylcing costs for when you throw it out.
Anybody that's lived in this God forsaken state knows that is all bullshit and that money will be thrown into some politicians pocket or their friends and as a result, all of our other insane taxes will continue to skyrocket. NJ has officially ruined the Democratic party for me. I'd rather tear my eyes out and eat them then to ever vote for one of those pieces of shit.

If you can just drop off the TV with out paying a fee though, then I think it is worth it.
I haven't personally done it, but I have a 15" monitor I need to get rid of. I know here in Minnesota, specifically Hennepin County there is a fee to drop off electronics. I don't know the exact price, but it isn't free. However, they do run a few days during the year that you can drop off stuff for free, but the lines are obscene, I rather pay than having to deal with lines. I would gladly get taxed ($10 is peanuts) and be given the ability to just drop it off rather than paying when I drop it off.
