Disposal of a body

kfrp

Any one know if its OK to put one of those old small tvs in the recycling bin?

kneemos

You think someone is going to fix it and sell it on?

Duggy747

Is it broke?

Miaireland

Not to the best of my knowledge.

Boom_Bap

Nope, it needs to go with electronic waste.

Dunno it was left in house when I moved in. It's like 12 inch.

I'd say it would be defo broken if lobbed into the bin

No. Your local recycling centre will take it for free.

Put it on Adverts, someone will probably take it for free.

fermanagh_man

Charity shop if it still works

cerastes

seriously, no
why not offer it for free on adverts or donedeal?
or at least bring it to your recyling centre where it can be disposed of?
thought this would be obvious, green bins and any literature with them always say what you can put in them.
its widely known about recycling of electrical and electronic goods, which is paid for in a fee by us all, hence why we dont pay again upon disposal.

Junkyard Tom

It's free to bring it to your local recycling centre and no you're not allowed to put it in the recycling bin.

Lad on my road put one of those T.V's in his bin.
Bin men came and emptied it while I was getting into my car.
When the tube burst it sounded like a shotgun blast - the bin men got out of the truck and were looking in the crusher and under the truck and all around with worried looks on their faces.
The lad who dumped the T.V told me later what he'd done and was worried he'd get fined.

The vacuum tube goes up like a bomb . Extremely hard to break though.

Thanks for advice everyone, I'll see if it works and give it to a charity shop me thinks or recycle it in the recycling bin, cheers

Burial, especially in a shallow grave due to time constraints.

Cremation, which may be incomplete if performed without proper equipment.

Dumping the body in a deserted or private place, such as a freezer or body of water.

Dissolution.

Burial in cement or concrete.

Crushing, e.g. within a junked car.

Collected as rubbish e.g. in a bin lorry.

Burial at a landfill.

Dismemberment is common as a means to facilitate disposal, it also enables disposal of each piece separately.

That's all I can think of for now

Or offer to swap for something equally worthless and space wasting.

Traditionally disused old household appliances get fooked into a ditch somewhere off the M7

Do what one guy did and behead the corpse. Boil the head for chow and then copulate with the headless bodies. (Sickest book ever written) He was only caught due to the bits of the bodies being caught in the sewers and the smell alerted the neighbours who wanted to know what was causing it. They found dismembered corpses rotting in the wardrobe and under the floorboards.

Charity shops will not take old electrical appliance. Bring it to the recycling centre.

Some of them will. By law they need to be able to sign off on it working safely, which requires the opinion of a qualified electrician. Once they get this they're good to go & organisations which are able to avail of this will be happy to take such donations if they reckon they can sell them on (which may not be the case with an ancient TV of course). Best bet is to check in advance before dropping the TV off.

most of them won't because they need to provide a warranty

Put it up on Adverts, if it's going for free then it will be gone in seconds.

I remember the killings, that book, the keeping the corpses around the house, the necrophilia accusations.

But there was no evidence or accusation of cannabalism. He boiled the body parts for disposal.

Plus, no sure I recall any victim who was beheaded first, and then he had sex with the body. It did happen in other cases, such as the Sunset Strip Killers in the US...where the head was also used afterwards for sexual gratification.

None of the five in this town will take them.

Just a reminder, bodies go in the brown bin.
