Country Hills is the only Staples with recycling bin.

And the bin is very tall. So if your TV is bigger than 20", it's won't fit or a tough lift. You should take it to other locations.

does your tv work and how big is it?

These are the places listed by the Alberta Recycling Management Authority.

There's a building in the Currie Barracks off of Flanders Avenue where you can recycle electronics.

yes, sledgehammer good. then u can bash ur garborator with it if its not working right. sometimes it takes a good bashing before it'll take the whole tv down.

Put it out in front of your house. Put a "Free To Good Home" sign on it. Poof-it disappears!!!!!

they are all inside the staples.

Memory express's corporate office (MEMEX) which is right near staples 32nd, has one outside with side doors so it's easy to unload stuff there, and it's free.
