E-Waste Photo of the Day: CRT's

Cathode Ray Tube TV's or CRT's contain high concentrations of lead, phosphors and cadmium and are considered by the EPA to be hazardous household waste. Even in developed countries they are one of the most difficult items to recycle as a great deal of care must be taken to ensure that workers and communities are not exposed to the dangerous materials they contain. Recently they have become one of the most common items to be disposed of as most people upgrade to new flat panel televisions.

Do you have a big, old TV that you need to get rid of? Please call Shift Recycling at 416.995.4202 ext. 2227 to arrange a pick up.
