We are being flooded with old, waste electronics and much of it comes in the form of old TVs and computer monitors that often end up in landfills.
The problem with that solution is that electronic waste, or e-waste items such as TVs and old computer monitors contain toxic metals and other chemicals. And these can get into the local environments near the landfills.
You Mean the TV in the Basement? (Or Garage, or Attic, or…)
It’s a common sight throughout homes all over this great country of ours: old, silent TV sets that don’t work well any longer, or don’t work at all. They’re often boxy, bulky, and heavy because of that old-tech cathode-ray tube inside.
Or maybe it’s the old computer monitors. You know – the ones that came in a variety of colors that were all shades of beige. And they’re also heavy, bulky, and awkward because they, too, have a CRT inside.
And that glass funnel CRT also contains anywhere from five to eight pounds of lead.
Fortunately, these things are relatively safe and hard to break. Unfortunately, if they do it’s not a good scene. And the lead isn’t the only danger.
Lead, mercury, broken glass… kinda makes you wonder why we keep these things around?
The answer is likely that they are hard to move around and, if you do get them loaded in your car or SUV, you probably can’t take it to the dump. In fact, half the states in the Union have banned most CRTs from their landfills and at least 10 have banned all electronics.
Your residential waste management truck won’t take them. You certainly can’t just put them out on the curb and hope someone will come by and pick them up. And dumping them illegally isn’t something you would ever consider.
We get it.
And that’s why, at Speedy Junk Removal Pros, we have made it one of our specialties to pick up and properly dispose of any type of old TVs, computer monitors, and every other type of electronic waste item.
