Monitor, TV and CRT Recycling in Atlanta
Flat panels, older tube sets and the screens an office refresh leaves behind.
Displays are the stream most likely to be left until last. They are bulky, they have little obvious value on the way out, and the older ones are built with materials that make an ordinary dumpster the wrong answer. American Resources collects monitors, displays, televisions, digital signage and CRTs from businesses across metro Atlanta, in the quantities an office refresh or a campus clearance actually produces.
Screens of every generation
- Desktop monitors and flat panels
- Televisions
- CRT monitors and tube televisions
- Digital signage and meeting-room displays
- Screens still attached to retired desktops
- Cabling and display leads
The older the screen, the more careful the handling
A tube monitor and a modern flat panel are the same category on a form and two different problems in practice. Older display technology is heavy, it is fragile, and it is built with materials that have to be kept out of landfill: lead, mercury and cadmium among them.
That is why screens are worth separating from the rest of a clearance rather than mixing them into a general load. Handling them as their own stream is what keeps them out of the wrong dumpster.
Why a pallet of screens quotes differently from a pallet of laptops
Devices with recoverable metal in them carry value. Older display technology carries handling cost. A quote is the net of those two things across the mix you actually have, itemized so you can see which side each item fell on.
In practice that means a refresh producing both laptops and tube monitors is better quoted as one job than as two, because the recoverable side of the mix is doing some of the work.
Screens are a bulk problem before they are a weight problem
A room full of monitors is not heavy so much as bulky, and bulk is what decides how many trips a collection takes. Staging matters more here than almost anywhere else: screens stacked in one place move in a fraction of the time screens gathered desk by desk do.
Where displays are still on desks or wall mounts, say so when you send the inventory, because taking them down is part of the job and it changes how long the visit needs.
We collect at the dock, the office suite or the floor the screens are on, as a one-time job or in stages as a refresh rolls through the building.
Displays are one stream inside the wider electronics recycling service.
Printing hardware going out in the same clearance is covered by printer and copier recycling.
