Old electrical items - giving to charity?
I've just got a new lcd telly, and am looking to get rid of my old Sony crt. I don't want anything for it; it's 28" and seven years old, but there is not a thing wrong with it.
I mentioned in work that I would probably see if a charity wanted it, but someone said that charities aren't allowed to take electrical items? Is that true?
Thanks.

From my experience charity shops wont take it. You could advertise it in your local shop eg "Free to a good home". I'm sure someone would appreciate it. I don't like waste and throwing out a perfectly good piece of equipment's a shame isn't it?
and then a dog pisses on it and they dont realise !!! , not a good idea :eek:
More often than not people rummage through the bags and take what they want and leave the rest strewn all over the floor :mad:
Yes, thanks, that is an option. Although if possible I'd prefer a charity to get it first.
i was going to suggest that. i joined freecycle because someone suggested it on here, and ive got rid of loads of bulky stuff that would normally be binned
Not yet (as above), but they're on the list!
Great idea. I think local radio stations do some kind of programmes too where they help you give stuff to people that need it. Shame to waste it on the tip, or for it to go to someone who's just going to make a bit of money on it.
