What do I do with my old dish?

The background-color is important.

You don't like it, but it is true.The receiver/client boxes are the only parts of DirecTV property that are installed.Everything else becomes the property of the homeowner.

Your property is the receiving dish.It has always been that way.They don't take it back.You can either recycle the rest of the dish or leave it where it is.

We have three separate trash bins, one for metals, plastic and things like satellite dishes.

I have a son who lives in a mobile home park and he always brings me a dish, so I just sit it on the curb and it is gone.

Is AT&T a green company?Why is it acceptable that the dishes end up in the trash?AT&T needs a program to recycle.When it was disconnected, my dish was providing service for me.Why wouldn't it be able to be used again?

Shannon didn't answer either of my questions.Are you a customer or an employee?There is a problem in the process, are employees aware of it?It would cost AT&T $0 to give customers a place to drop off their dishes.This is a complete waste.I understand leaving the roof mounts in place to keep from roof leaks, but the rest can be removed and reused.

2.It could be a fraud problem if they reuse it on a new install.

3.They can at some point be remade if they take the dish to a Recycling Center.

refurbished receivers are used on new installs.New steel melt is added to the dishes.

Upon installation, the dish is owned.It is not expected to be removed.If you leave Directv and return, you already have a dish in the correct spot which saves on resources.If you were to move out, there is a dish for the new resident to consider Directv or to make it easier if they are moving an existing service.They don't want to damage the house when they try to remove it because of how long the dishes are up there.

The location of a local recycling center is not the job of AT&T.Businesses calculate into cost the time it takes for their agents to do something more use.You can use the internet to find recycling options in your area.

You can recycle the dish if you choose to.Electronic recycling would be on the LNB.The mounting plat should not be removed to avoid leaks.

Since we don't have an employee tag, we are customers like you.Any "Employees" who might post here are doing so on their free time and not on behalf of Directv.

Sorry, but not true.The dish is not mine.I did not pay for it.I did not rent it.It was installed by AT&T/Directv.It is their property.I will put mine at the front door of the closest store.It is not AT&T's job to tell you where to recycle it.It took 45 minutes for a Rep to convince me to switch from Uverse to Directv.After being installed, it cost me $30 more a month.I couldn't get customer service to correct it.To get rid of it, you have to pay early termination fees.I offered to go back to Uverse.They said that ending the Directv contract has fees.I live in a large city.I lose my signal when it gets overcast and starts to rain.The dish didn't block the signal.Please join me in returning the dish to its rightful owner.AT&T.

The satellite is line-of- sight.Rain impacts that "view" to the satellite.Given the age of the DTV infrastructure and the fact that ATT will turn down signal strength as low as possible to find that tipping point between more users on the flagging system and still getting you a signal...

I left them because of this.The user interface was one of the reasons.
