Yes Bruce I too found disposal can be expensive. After the concrete Mitsubishi, I bought a 50 inch rear projection Sony that started misbehaving after a few years. Sony accepted a big chunk of responsibility and gave me a large allowance toward a replacement 55 inch LCD. I had to dispose of the rear projection on my own though. I had to pay my trash hauling company $50 for a special trip and the set had to be curbside. At least it was not heavy. lol
