Broadcasting digital only signals today, analog receiving sets can no longer get free programming from television stations that they use to catch via rabbit ears or larger roof top antennas. If you haven't replaced your old tv with a new Samsung Televisions LCD or another popular Model you are left with 3 basic options: subscribe to a cable service or one of the satellite providers, hook up to a set top digital converter box, or take the plunge and purchase a new Samsung LCD or other model that receives digital signals. The EPA is very interested in this transition and in keeping with making sure that the environment is top of mind wants you to recycle that old analog set or if you are not replacing your old set in favor of using a digital box, counsels you to make sure it is Energy Star Compliant. If your choice is a new set, ensure that is has an Energy Star Label. When you recycle that old set it allows recovery of valuable resources from circuit boards, wiring, glass and plastics. During 2008 alone, over 20 million televisions were trashed by Americans without being recycled, as reported by the EPA. This was a costly lost opportunity in the effort to reclaim and conserve resources like copper and iron. Recycling electronics is a worthwhile cause and doesn't take much effort to do your part in being a good steward.

A lot of them get together regularly and hold meeting and events to motivate folks to get involved with recycling their old appliances and devices. Samsung Televisions, Toshiba, Sony. Panasonic and Sharp manufacturers, sponsor hundreds of recycling collection points and national events in an honest effort to spur an energy conscious smooth transition from old style analog to the new digital televisions to make it simple and convenient to recycle.
