How do you get rid of old electronics?

I have an old TV with a built-in VCR. The TV still works but the VCR does not. We finally replaced it with a small flat screen for the bedroom but now I have to get rid of this one. I don’t even think I could FreeCycle it. I was reading an article about how to get rid of electronics but am still not sure how hazardous an old TV is. http://www.wisebread.com/how-to-get-rid-of-your-old-electronics I know there are chemicals in flat screen TVs and smartphones that could be bad for the environment http://www.seidlerchem.com/electronics.htm but I am not sure where an old TV fits in. I doubt I could trade it in at a store like Best Buy because it is so outdated. What do you do with old electronics?
