Why recycling TVs?
Old TVs are electronic wastes which are made of a wide variety of material constituents such as lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium, batteries, CRTs (cathode raytubes), and so on. Thus mismanaged at old TVs could be harmful to human and environment, as a result, many municipalities have banned TVs from landfills.
However, the materials such as lead, copper, plastics, glass, steel, aluminum, etc. that can be recovered through TVs recycling, are valuable resources because TVs recycling save energy and resources by contributing parts that would otherwise be manufactured from raw materials.
In another word, recycling TVs helps to conserve natural resources and energy, and reduce pollution resulting from the extraction and processing of raw materials from the earth.
How to recycling TVs?
· Before recycle TVs, consider that your old TVs is working or not if it’s still working we recommend that reusing and donation are the best way to save energy and natural resources.
· Check your state waste disposal laws because laws of dispose waste vary by state. For example, if plasma televisions are considered hazardous waste in your state, different disposal rules may apply.
· When you plan to purchase a new TV, ask the store if they offer a trade-in program or they will take and recycle your old, unwanted set when they deliver your new digital TV. The companies or stores which accept your old TVs such as Best Buy’s, LG Electronics, Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Samsung, and Sony.
· Contact a local repair shop and ask if they buy old televisions for refurbishing because some places pay you a small fee for a nonworking television, fix it, and sell it for a profit.
· Call your local TV recycle service to see how electronic waste is handled in your area. Some services pick it up for recycling on your bulk garbage day, while others require you to bring it to a central facility for recycling.
· Contact the store where you purchased your television and ask if they offer a take-back program for electronics. If the store doesn’t offer one, try to contact the manufacturer because some manufacturers partner with local retailers to provide drop-off points for electronics recycling.
