I was surprised when I found this resource showing where all of the know abandoned landfills are in Austin. The City of Austin has a map showing the locations of known landfills. Is there one close to you?
The complete map is available here.
Big Screen to Big Green

So you finally purchased a glorious flat-panel, big-screen TV so you can watch HD Television in mammoth proportions. But at this point, where to get your HD hook-up should be the least of your concerns. What do you do with that old standard definition TV?
If craigslist fails you, you still have options. Don’t leave the old TV to rot in a landfill when you have so many recycling options available to you. Check out Earth 911′s website at http://earth911.org. There, you can type in what you want to recycle and where you are to find a recycling center near you to recycle the old TV.
To have your TV completely recycled from the plastic to the lead to the gold components, take it to your nearest Goodwill, Salvation Army, or specialty recycling center like ERT, Inc. or M&K Recovery Group.
Use Earth 911 to find out where to recycle other materials and electronics such as cell phones and fluorescent bulbs as well!
If you missed them, here are links to previous posts about Austin’s new recycling program, recycling phone books, recycling cell phones, fluorescent bulb recycling, and recycling in Austin.
