Recycling Old Equipment
If you want to buy a new television, and you’re not passing your old set onto friends or family, it’s a good idea to dispose of your old television responsibly. The display device in old televisions, known as the cathode ray tube (CRT), contains hazardous substances such as lead, and older models may contain barium, which can harm the environment.
The best way to safely dispose of old TVs is to take your equipment to a waste transfer station or a specialist e-waste recycler.
RCN Group and Sims Recycling Solutions are two Auckland-based companies that specialise in recycling old TV sets.
The Government recently announced a grant of $400,000 for a joint venture between the RCN Group and the Community Recycling Network towards developing a nationwide network of 20 permanent depots for e-waste as well as recycling facilities in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
