Tips on Recycling Computer Monitors

There are a few different options to consider when you are ready to dispose of your old computer monitor.

1. Donate the monitor to someone else who may need it. You can check with friends and family or contact a charity that may need used computer items to furnish its facilities or to give to individuals who may have otherwise not been able to afford a computer monitor. Many times, this can also be considered a tax write-off since it is a charitable donation. Try the Salvation Army or Goodwill.
2. Refurbish your monitor. Many times, you will see refurbished merchandise for sale online at sites such as Newegg, Overstock or even manufacturer Web sites, such as Dell. Also, check with local computer technicians to see if your monitor can be fine-tuned.
3. Recycle your monitor if it does not fit one of the two options above. Contact your state and local governments for recycling facilities.
