Check to see if your county has an e-waste recycling program. We have them in California and it's a good way to recycle old electronics, both working and non-working.
There are quite a number of e-waste places popping up, but if you go this route i recommend ensuring the company is not one shipping the gear off to China for "processing".
It typically ends up in a Chinese dump or worse (and common) near some water way, dumping wash out waste into the Pacific and you'll see the 'contents' of that tv all over again the next time you eat seafood!! (no, i'm not kidding)
Some companies are now selling new tvs while taking back old ones for proper recycling as well. This is becoming more common.
Best Buy had a week long e-cycling thing for anyone buying a new tv this past fall. Haven't seen it again yet.
There are some good local places taking in monitors and smaller tvs funded by the province.
Worst case, can you hold onto it in the backyard or garage until such a program starts up in your area? (this is course may depend on how rural you are as well).
