It is illegal to dispose of Computer Monitors and TV screens unless you go to a certified electronic recycling facility, because these monitors contain materials hazardous to the environment. Check out newtechrecycling.com to find out more, and check in your area for a permitted electronic/computer recycling facility.

Why can't computer components be disposed of like ordinary waste?
Most computer hardware contains harmful chemicals. As an example, you cannot throw monitors away because the lamps (lights) contain the dangerous chemical Mercury. Most technology and computers contain Mercury, so they cannot be thrown away. It is also against the law (depending on which state), if you read the back of the device carefully, it will most likely say "Dispose according to local, state, and federal law.".
