Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) – the primary component in computer monitors and televisions – contain lead that can potentially contaminate land, air and water resources.  For this reason, TVs and computer monitors should not be thrown out with the trash.   

Instead, bring them to specially organized recycling events such as Household Recycling Days and E-Waste Days.  Or, you may contact your local DPW -- select your town from the alphabetized lists below -- to find out how and where to dispose of them.

Non-residential organizations such as local businesses, schools and institutions should use the Electronics Recycling Markets list of known CRT recyclers or contact the county's Recycling Help Line via e-mail or call 211 for further information.
