Hi Neighbours - I have two large TV in good working condition. Porirua landfill will charge me $18 for a car filled with both and any more rubbish.
But I don't want to throw it over the tip and see it break into a hundred pieces.
Next to Mary Potter Hospice in Prosser St, I have seen a recycling centre that is packing old TV.
Does anyone know the parent company where I can deliver these two TV's?
Many thanks
