CCTV monitors Recycling

Computer monitors TV's CCTV monitors and all cathode ray tube appliances are now regarded as Hazardous waste when they are being disposed off and can not be put into a skip or landfill. We are able to offer you a local service for legal collection and recycling of all your monitors including the newer flat screen, lcd or plasma screens that are either non working, damaged or no longer required. Why Recycling CRT ( Cathode ray tube) monitors are now listed as hazardous and require specialist equipment to recycle the various components correctly and safely. Why are they Hazardous to health? Most monitors are made up of a front clear glass which is the screen area that you normally see which is not hazardous and the rear part of the monitor which is normally encased in a plastic or other material casing. It is this rear part of the monitor which is the hazardous part with the glass funnel section containing up to 20% lead and it is also coated inside with a phosphorous coating which requires separate removal during the recycling process to prevent environmental contamination. See image below for detail break down of a crt. What do we do for you? we offer Peace of MIND!!
