Disposing of an Old Computer Monitor

When you’re replacing an old computer monitor with a new one, one thing that needs to be considered is where to dispose of an unwanted pc monitor. While leaving it on the curb on a trash day may seem like a harmless idea, in fact, it’s not. Throwing out a computer monitor into the trash is not just wasteful and potentially dangerous, but may also be illegal in your area. Think green and call WE JUNK for eco-friendly junk removal near you!


Why proper disposal matter? It’s all about the contents within any electronic device (or appliance) and the ways they affect the ecosystem of our planet. The components of a computer monitor may contain toxic materials such as lead, copper, mercury and cadmium. These chemicals can be hazardous to the environment of our planet if disposed of improperly. So, in case you may be looking for an eco-friendly junk removal nearby, call WE JUNK. We junk because WE CARE!

Types of Computer Monitor We Haul Away

  • CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Monitors

    CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) Monitors

    Despite being bulky and costly to replace, CRT computer monitors can still be found operating in many homes and offices nowadays. And while they are, in fact, considered durable, every electronic device can reach the end of its life someday. And when this happens, an important thing to keep in mind is that such devices contain reusable materials which can be retrieved and used in the production of new products. On the other hand, such substances can be extremely harmful to the environment, if disposed of improperly.

    So, if you need a hand with your old computer monitor removal, and you care about our planet, call us now — WE JUNK because WE CARE.

  • LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Monitors

    LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Monitors

    While LCD monitors are much less bulky than their CRT predecessors, this does not mean that they can be carelessly tossed into a landfill. Just like any other type of computer monitor, LCD screens should be disposed of properly.

    Though, liquid crystal display monitors do not contain up to 8 pounds of lead (versus CRT’s), they may contain other toxic components such as copper, mercury, and cadmium. And, while these do not affect the average pc user, they can seriously harm the environment we live in. Think GREEN, call WE JUNK!

  • LED (Light-Emitting Diode) Monitors

    LED (Light-Emitting Diode) Monitors

    Light-emitting diode monitors are considered far more environmentally friendly and have a less negative impact when disposed of. This type of flat-panel screens is more durable than the CRTs and LCDs, but ‘durable’ does not mean ‘everlasting.’ So, when you decide that it’s time to upgrade for a new computer monitor, you might be looking for junk haulers willing to dispose of your old one in a proper way.

    Give us a call! WE JUNK responsibly, and take your unwanted appliances to recycle whenever possible!
