Maybe you just got a new TV or computer. Great. What's going to happen to the old one?
You could sell it, donate it or recycle it. Just don't throw it
in the trash."There are so many toxics in electronics it is very
important that they be kept out of the landfill," said Tom Watson, King County's Eco-Consumer.
He says those toxic materials include mercury, cadmium and
lead. "In some of some of the older computer monitors and TVs, there are more than 4 pounds of lead in those," he said.
