Leave it out on the curb by the ghetto and it will get picked I'm sure.

doesnt matter, put it on your lawn, stick a hand-written sign on it that says "FREE", and it'll be gone within 30 minutes.

if you put "for sale $50" sign, people will think it has value and they will steal it off your lawn. You might even get a gullible buyer try to lowball you for $40. Either way you win.

Reminds me....

What do you say when your tv is floating around in the middle of the night?

The ghetto neighbourhoods will take it for sure...

I called the city of toronto about this a few years back. You can leave it out on your regular garbage day, and they will take it (if someone else doesn't take it first). As far as I know, this hasn't changed.

The same way you get somebody to take your bike - no joke:

Put it on the side of the road and leave it and it won't get taken.
Put it on the side of the road and lock it to a tree and it will get taken.

I don't quite know how you lock a TV to a tree, but you get the idea. A $50 sign on it should do the trick.

Leave it on your front lawn plugged in an extension cord. That way people will know its working before they steal it.

unless people just turn it on, sit down, and have a tv party on your lawn...then when tv power hour is done, they'll leave you with the tv (added bonus, their mess!)

if you want to, i guess you could try http://www.freecycle.org/
