How TV's & Electronics Are Recycled
A little about the process
Recycling TVs and electronics requires a special process due to their hazardous components and valuable materials. Recycling facilities handle items like TVs, monitors, and laptops with care. First, they remove hazardous materials—such as lead, mercury, and cadmium found in old CRT TVs or circuit boards—to prevent environmental harm, per Washington’s e-waste laws. These substances are disposed of safely at specialized sites.
Next, the electronics are dismantled. Plastics are separated and shredded, often recycled into new products, though some may go to landfills if non-recyclable. Metals like copper, aluminum, and gold are extracted from circuit boards and wiring, then sent for smelting and reuse in manufacturing. Glass from CRT screens is processed separately, sometimes repurposed into new glass products.
Programs like E-Cycle Washington, which operates in Pierce County, ensure responsible recycling of TVs and computers, diverting millions of pounds from landfills annually. This process recovers valuable resources while protecting the environment. Schedule a pickup today!
