Is it illegal to toss your TV in a landfill? It soon is in Oregon. As of January 1, 2010 it will become illegal to dispose of TVs, computers and monitors at landfills, transfer stations, incinerators or at the curb.

What happens when you break the law?

If you knowingly break the new law, you will face up to $500 per offence. Each TV, computer or monitor is considered a separate offence. Oregon has already placed a free E-Cycling law allowing for the free disposal of the items included on the ban.
