all electronics in BC have a recyclable tax I believe. Laptops have them. TVs have them as well. The bigger the size of the TV, the bigger the fee. Its like a disposal fee or some shit.. cash grab if you ask me.

Just be glad it wasn't 32" or something. Then it would have been $30.

Reason is, there are huge monitors you can buy that is only considered "LCD monitors" b/c they don't have TV input.
If it has TV input on the monitor then its considered a LCD TV no matter if its 15" or xx"
yes im a geek |
