The development of modern technologies is felt in all areas of our lives. We use smart technology and surround ourselves with gadgets that make our work and leisure not just comfortable, but as efficient as possible. A television has long ceased to be a device that displays a picture on a screen. Modern television equipment can access the Internet, project the screen of the owner’s phone, read audio books, etc. Therefore, old TV models are retired to dachas or garages until the first breakdown. It makes no sense to repair them, since repairs can be more problematic and more expensive than a new TV. Therefore, the next stage begins - recycling.

Disposal of CRT TVs

Old CRT TVs are a ticking time bomb. As soon as the optimal conditions for its use change—moisture or elevated temperature appears—the device begins to release toxic substances around itself. CRTs contain almost the entire periodic table. Imagine what happens when a TV ends up in a landfill, where it might rain or there might be a fire - poisonous mercury vapor, strontium that burns the mucous system, lead that settles in the lungs and barium that causes spasms of the respiratory system are released and kill everyone who is in the affected area . Add to this the melting plastic with its toxic carbon dioxide and think again, maybe it’s still worth recycling the TV?

Throw away or sell

The problem with recycling LCD TVs in the capital is especially acute. The reason for this is the high population density and high level of income, which makes it possible to replace outdated household appliances quite often. Modern families, when purchasing them, are guided by an unwritten rule: each family member has his own TV. This removes the problem of family disagreements, now children watch cartoons, dad watches football, and mom watches TV series. However, the need for recycling equipment is multiplied several times.

What to do with broken or obsolete LCD TVs? Sometimes you can see old appliances in dumpsters or landfills. Those wishing to follow this route must be prepared to pay a large fine. This will happen if the offender is detained at the scene of the crime, because such an action is a direct violation of the law.

If the LCD TV is in working condition, you can try to sell it. Owners of unnecessary items usually turn to the services of classified ads sites or specialized groups on social networks. However, not every resident of the capital is ready to begin the epic sale of old household appliances. Those who choose this option spend several days, or even weeks, of their personal time on a ton of phone calls, often made at the most inopportune times.

In the capital's repair shops, they are always willing to pay a certain amount for serviceable parts from broken TVs. Power supply circuits, matrices, and receivers for the control panel are especially valuable here. Don’t rush to take your TV to the workshop right away, call first and determine whether it makes sense to spend money on transportation:

  • Do you need a TV for your model? Not all brands of parts are in demand;
  • what is their cost - each workshop sets its own prices.

Recycling - why it's important

LCD TVs are household appliances that are subject to mandatory recycling. When thrown into a landfill, they are exposed to external factors. Rain, high temperatures, and fires have a destructive effect on TV parts, which are not always made of harmless materials. LCD TVs with CCFL are especially dangerous for people, animals and the environment. The abbreviation CCFL means that behind the television display are cold cathode fluorescent lamps. Their main danger is the presence of mercury in their composition; usually each lamp contains about 3.5 mg of a dangerous substance.

Recently, LCD TVs have improved; CCFL backlighting is being replaced by LED and OLED backlighting. These are practically harmless lamps; they contain no mercury at all. However, the emergence of new generation TVs does not mean that it is possible to dispose of them yourself. In any case, the decomposition of plastic into its components, and especially its combustion, catastrophically pollutes the environment. Proper disposal of televisions is the only way to get rid of junk and preserve nature in a livable condition.

Recycling – dismantling and recycling of TVs

A TV with an LCD display backlit by mercury lamps (CCFL backlight) requires special care. It is transported and disassembled very carefully so as not to break lamps containing harmful substances. Their disposal is carried out according to the same scheme as for fluorescent energy-saving lamps.

The first task of recycling specialists: the TV must be disassembled and sorted into metal, glass and plastic. Some of the parts cannot be classified into any of the categories; it is an alloy of them. Such parts undergo detailed processing. They are crushed into small particles, each about the size of a poppy seed. For further processing, the crushed mixture of particles is processed using special devices:

  1. Magnetic shaft - particles of ferrous metals remain on it.
  2. Vibrating table – for separating non-ferrous metals from a mixture.

Metals are pressed into categories and sent for smelting to metallurgical plants. Plastics and glass chips are packaged and transported to factories for further processing. Disposal of harmful substances that the TV contains is the work of special companies. They neutralize and dispose of hazardous waste transferred to them at a specialized site.

Which TVs are being purchased?

If you think that you can no longer qualify for the redemption of broken TVs of the old format, with a picture tube, then this is not so. They are still in demand, we buy them too. The “ancestors” of modern devices used precious metals, so they are extracted by craftsmen. They also have black metal parts.

If you have an old broken LCD TV, it can also be purchased. Its screen can be used to produce various types of gadgets and other modern technology.

What other types of TV can be donated:

  • plasma;
  • LCD;
  • LED.

At the same time, old broken monitors are purchased. They are not much different from television equipment, so they are disposed of in the same way.

Why should a TV be recycled?


Old TVs contain hazardous waste and substances that have a negative impact on the environment.
There are several reasons why you need to worry about where you can return a broken TV for money, namely:

  1. This technique contains a whole range of toxic substances and materials;
  2. Thoughtless discarding may result in financial, administrative and criminal penalties;
  3. A competent approach to the procedure allows you to gain quite a bit of money.

Old, non-working TVs contain barium, strontium, mercury, lead, and plastic. Each of them, entering the human body in small quantities, leads to severe illness and death.

For example, barium causes muscle spasms, and strontium is dangerous in combination with other pathologies and can cause strontium rickets. Lead causes anemia, because of it the human body is depleted, and kidney failure is observed.

Mercury harms the entire body in complex ways, and plastic causes the release of large amounts of toxins into the environment. In the event of a fire, half an hour is enough for a person to die after inhaling the products of burning plastic.

Accordingly, if the owner of the TV is careless about the possible consequences for his own health, then the discarded technical device may cause harm to others. The environment may also suffer. As a result, the owner will be brought to administrative or criminal liability (depending on the consequences), and he will have to compensate for material damage to the victims. We can talk not only about tens and hundreds of thousands, but also millions of rubles.

Finally, competent presentation of rare pieces of equipment can be a good accessory and design solution when decorating commercial and residential premises. In this case, you can return a non-working TV, produced 40-50 years ago, at a significant price, equivalent to the cost of a new plasma.

Interesting solutions

Sometimes outdated TV forms are in demand for creating authentic interiors. This is used in cinema, in stylized cafes and other activities. Representatives of these industries independently search for such items and place orders for them with the relevant companies. It doesn't happen often, but from time to time old TVs continue to live on as home decor items. Of course, in this case they are usually left without heavy, unnecessary internals, but externally they look good.
