Congrats, Chicago. You've made it to D-Day and have slaughtered the 70-year-old beast that is analog television. Now that 0s and 1s are being pumped into your digital converter boxes or new digital-ready TVs, what do you do with your analog leftovers?

Option 1: Make a few bucks and sell the old TV on Craigslist. Fellow Chicagoans can still put them to good use as long as they have a converter box.

Option 2: Save it in case Skynet becomes self-aware.

Option 3: Make sure they don't end up in a landfill and recycle them! TVs are made up of a myriad of materials that can be salvaged, processed and reused. Some of those components are harmful to the environment if not correctly disposed of.

"In 2007, Americans had accumulated 99 million TVs in storage and discarded nearly 27 million TVs," according to the EPA. "Of the TVs discarded, approximately 18 percent were recycled. Between 2004 and 2007, the number of TVs that entered the waste stream increased by 14 percent."

Here's where you can drop off your TV for recycling in the Chicagoland area:

(Blue = Samsung TVs; Green = Sony TVs; and Red = Panasonic, Toshiba and Sharp TVs)
