      Sort of. It kind of makes sense in that they don’t want you to lie about having a TV that doesn’t work to get a free second TV. If the issue is small enough that it can easily be ignored, it’s not worth replacing. And if it’s a big enough issue that it’s unusable, it shouldn’t bother you to destroy it.

      What sucks is that stuff ends up in the landfill most of the time instead of being recycled.

        Yeah that’s the sad part. It’s such a colossal waste.

        it shouldn’t bother you to destroy it.

        I disagree. I think it should, and probably does, bother everyone involved. Why damage it further, when it could be sold or even just given to a refurb/repair outfit?

        I mean I know why, it’s because there’s no immediate profit motive there. Maybe even the opposite. Which again, is sad.
