What's the best way to dispose of my old monitor?

Answer 1

1) Call the manufacturer (if possible) as many now have a disposal/recycling program in place;
2) Check with your local computer store and ask them what they do with their old monitors; or
3) Call your local recycling depot and ask them.

I'm sure you won't dump it in the household garbage or beside the road.

Answer 2

You can dispose of your old monitor by bringing it into the store of the company you purchased it from. I know Apple does this in order to recycle the old parts, but I would suggest calling ahead and making sure that the business you purchased the monitor from offers a free recycling program. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Monitors should not go to a regular dump. Some dumps have special areas that will take them. San Diego has a company that will pick them (and TVs and other universal waste) up and dispose of them. There may be a small fee (like $10).

Answer 4

The best thing is to donate it to a charity, but good luck. Monitors are a dime a dozen and even most charities don't want them. Try the public schools or workshops. Some cities have organizations that re-use them for low income folks like Portland, Oregon (Free Geek.)

Answer 5

1. Donate it to the prison system.
2. Pay the trash company to take it but get a receipt! Chances are the will just throw it in a landfill illegally. Then, when someone diggs it up 10 years from now, traces it to you, you could show them a reciept.
3. Uncle Larry's woods (just kidding! There is toxic lead in those things.)
