5 TV RECYCLING ESSENTIALS
2
Did you know that U.S. consumers throw away
approximately 400 million units of electronic
equipment every year, TV sets included? Just like
any other electronic, a TV set contains harmful
chemicals that, if disposed improperly, can lead
not only to health implications but environmental
degradation as well. Televisions can be highly
toxic, as they contain up to eight pounds of
lead. This can explain why a number of city
municipalities opted to ban the disposal of old
TVs in trash bins. It also explains why
responsible TV disposal is important to helping
reduce the chemical pollution of the
environment. TV Recycling is important. It is
considered to be the most responsible way of
disposing your old TV set.
