Recycling Audio-Visual Equipment

Audio-visual equipment, like televisions, VCRs, DVD players, and games consoles can all be recycled — whether they’re working or not. If they are no longer useful they are pulled apart and the raw materials are recovered to make new products.

Most American families have at least one television, and thousands of TVs are thrown into landfill every year. But the cathode-ray tubes inside televisions contain glass with very dangerous heavy metals. Recycling your television means that these metals are extracted safely, instead of being let out into the environment.

Contact your local recycling program officer to find out where to take your old audio-visual equipment for recycling.
