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. Further information about electronics recycling is provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Instead, residents should 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.
