Computer Monitor Recycling

crt and tft monitors for recycling

Due to the constituent materials used in their fabrication, waste Computer Monitors, whether CRT or TFT, working or faulty, are classed as hazardous waste by the European Union. The Basel Convention (UNEP 1989)(1), a treaty prohibiting the trans boundary movement of hazardous or faulty electronic hardware extends to cover all end of life computer screens, whatever their condition. The UK is a signatory to this agreement.

 

UK hazardous waste regulations (Hazardous waste regulations 2005)(2) prohibit the landfill of computer monitors and WEEE legislation (SI 2006 No.3289)(3) requires that they are recycled by licensed specialists to the Waste Framework Directive (The Waste Regulations 2011)(4) which requires the instigation of waste hierarchy (3R's) in their treatment.
