Lead in Computer Monitors and TV Monitors Going into Landfills

CRT monitors are the magic pieces that make everything on our television sets and our computors come to life. When they die or are being replaced by an upgrade they are often shipped overseas and in too many cases end up in our landfills. The lead (several pounds) in those monitors is hazardous and potentially dangerous to the wellbeing of humankind. Steve Fuelberth, President & CEO of Luminous Electronic Recycling (LER) has often been quoted as saying, " It’s not just pollution and doing your part, that is socially responsible. It’s also being responsible for customer data, intellectual property or other confidential information. Today, every business, institution and home has numerous electronic devices which will need to be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner." Now, LER is taking that whole concept to a new level by installing the 'Angel'. We had a chance to see it first-hand, and it is truly remarkable. No more lead in the landfills.Many states have adopted regulations on end-of-life electronic goods. Most electronic goods contain materials that if put into landfills, could effect the surrounding area. All communities believe that recycling will save valuable landfill space and provide a safer environment. Listen now!
