Options for recycling E-waste:
1) City of Dallas Spring Recycling Roundup. Saturday April 24. See the PDF here. http://dallascityhall.com/pdf/Recycling_March2010.pdf
2) The city of Dallas will take your TVs and computers at the four Transfer stations. I am sure they'd take DVD players as well.

3) Best Buy does take most everything electronic you would want to recycle. However, they do not take computer hard drives or tube TVs. Here is a link to the page:

4) Finally, if all else fails you can look here for additional resources.
