None

You may throw TV away as trash ONLY if disassembled to small portions A TV tube can be lethal if touched at the plate even after years. The idea is to break the neck releasing the pressure and reducing the tube to just plain glass pieces. That will be acceptable

Most electronics contain hazardous chemicals that are illegal to dispose of where they can contact public landfills or water, so cannot be put in household trash. Most electronics contain lead in solder, and TV tubes contain toxic elements. You cannot throw away a TV tube.
