Television recycling: What You Need to Know
Televisions are a major component of electronic waste (e-waste), containing valuable materials like copper and plastics as well as hazardous substances such as lead, mercury and flame retardants. Whether flat-screen or older CRT models, TVs should never be disposed of in general waste.
Correct recycling prevents toxic materials from entering landfill and enables resource recovery.
How to dispose of televisions responsibly
Take unwanted TVs to an authorised e-waste collection point or council drop-off centre. Many electronics retailers also offer recycling programs for old TVs when purchasing a new one. Never leave TVs on the kerb or in skip bins, as they require specialist handling.
Why recycling TVs matters
TVs contain recyclable metals and circuit boards that can be recovered and reused. Recycling also prevents toxic components from leaching into soil or water. Proper disposal supports a more circular electronics industry and reduces the volume of e-waste.
