Recycle Your TV Or Computer Monitor
Recycling consumer electronics conserves natural resources and avoids air and water pollution, as well as greenhouse gas emissions that are caused by manufacturing new materials.
Electronic products are made from valuable resources and materials, including metals, plastics, and glass, all of which require energy to mine and manufacture.
Find out how to keep our landfills and foreign countries clean by recycling your obsolete TV and computer monitor.
- Take It In – You can easily find an electronic recycling drop-off centre by going on-line. Depending on where you live, the electronic recycling centre may pick up your monitor or television for you.
- De-manufacture – Make sure to ask your electronic waste facility to properly de-manufacture your old TV or computer monitor into glass, plastic and metal. Check with the facility and see if you can monitor the de-manufacturing process. These properly separated components will not only be kept from the landfills, but they can then be turned into new computer monitors and TV sets.
- Get Proof – One of the most important things to ask for when you take your old TV or computer monitor in to be recycled is a Certificate of Destruction. This will prevent any of the dangerous and toxic components from being improperly shipped off to third world countries or dumped in a local landfill. Fill out the necessary paperwork and the e-waste facility will issue you a Certificate of Destruction as well as a copy of your invoice.
So what happens to your computer when it gets to the recycling plant?
