TV recycling in Shropshire

All types of TV's can be recycled in Shropshire simply by taking them to the Council's Recycling Centres.

And its not just TVs they accept any type of display screens 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 Recycling Lives (www.recyclinglives.com) in Lancashire for recycling.  Recycling Lives is a charitable organisation who use recycling to create income to support people in need - literally recycling lives.


From humble beginnings as a small local charity repairing furniture and trading a bit of scrap metal, they have now grown into a large social enterprise and expanded their operations to include a fully licenced TV recycling factory which allows them to safely handle hazardous waste including PC monitors and TV sreens which contain cathode ray tubes.

Once staff in the main area of the recycling centre have removed the plastic and metal components from the units, the remaining screen and mercury-filled fluorescent tubes enter the sealed mercury-safe room.

Did you know almost 99% of the material in the TV can now be recycled, including the glass from the screen and the hard plastics used, almost nothing goes to waste and this is one of the highest / most efficient for any recycling process.
