Mr King said unwanted televisions could be dropped off for a fee of $5 tomorrow.
The company had a government subsidy quota to take 1359 sets for the $5 fee, he said.
Unlike other drop-off points in the city, Cargill Enterprises would dismantle the television sets in Dunedin. The job would be done by workers with disabilities, he said.
''We're keeping the money in the economy down here and employing Dunedin people.''
Cargill Enterprises chief executive Geoff Kemp said they kept the $5 drop-off fee, were given another $6 for processing a television and got about $2.50 for the components taken from the television for recycling.
A television took about 15 minutes to process and more televisions collected for processing would mean more work for the employment of disabled staff.
