What on earth are you meant to do with them nowadays? My hifi is 10 yrs old and ive had to fix it a few times now i want a new one. What shall i do with the old one weve got 2 portable Tvs upstairs not getting used where the hell am i gunna get rid of em.

Most civic amenity tips take these goods nowadays.

Just take them to the skip they take old electrical stuff

Try freecycle there must be a site in Hartlepool. Just google freecycle Hartlepool join the group and then you can give all your unwanted junk away to people instead of throwing them in the tip

And get a surround sound home cinema system. I got rid of my old Technics hi fi system and got a Panasonic cinema system, plumbed the telly and the computer into it and play telly, radio, listen again, cd's, dvd's and pics through it all for £250. Worra bargain.

Most tv's these days you get one free, ive got a one for me old hifi and one for a dvd player i got with me tv (and its not wired up ). Anyhow staying on the subject of hi-fi's any recommendations anyone, it seems to be all micro hi-fi's these days.
