Computers and Television Sets

Computer monitors and television sets, which contain cathode ray tubes (CRTs), are now banned from the regular trash because of their high lead content.  So are mercury products. 

Take these items to one of three CRT/TV and electronic recycling events in Andover  on Saturday, September 29, 2007 at the West Middle School from 9:00 am to 1:00 p.m. 

The following may be recycled by Andover residents there:

  • Computer systems (monitors and hard drives);

  • Television sets;

  • Fluorescent lamps and lights;

  • Microwave ovens;

  • Mercury thermometers;

  • Thermostats;

  • Any type of battery other than alkaline;
