Recycle Your Electronics

Did you know that most TVs and computer monitors contain two to eight pounds of toxic lead? Many electronics contain other toxic metals like mercury and cadmium, too. If any of these contaminants get into our rivers, streams, or lakes, they can harm our health and damage the environment.

Most TVs and computers contain a cathode ray tube (CRT). Electronic products containing a CRT may not be placed in the garbage (Minnesota Statutes ยง115A.9565).
