What to do with old TV's in Shropshire

Television and Personal Computer monitors are potentially harmful due to their toxic heavy metal content, so you should handle with care and never put them in your household rubbish. You can safely recycle these items at any of the Council Household Recycling Centres (HRC's) in Shropshire & Telford.

Any display screens are accepted for recycling, including:

• Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors

• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screens

• Plasma screens

• Personal Computer (PC) monitors

• Calculators

• Sat navs

• Laptops

All monitors are taken to an innovative charity called Recycling Lives in Preston, Lancashire for recycling.  The hazardous materials are safely removed and recycled and then the monitors are stripped for components. They are then smashed up to allow raw materials like plastics and metal to be separated and recycled.
