With the affordability of electronics, Americans are disposing of televisions faster than ever. Only a small fraction of television is properly recycled according to the data from US EPA. The rest of this electronic waste ends up in landfills, where it can pose a serious risk to the environment. At the moment you have several ways you can dispose of plasma tv responsibly. Your first step for proper disposal is to sell. If that is not possible, donate. In the case that your plasma Tv is not working your only solution left is recycling your possession. Recycling companies like Recycle Technologies use heavy machinery that can salvage valuable materials from electronic devices. They can dispose of toxic elements, so they can’t harm anyone anymore.

Who is Recycle Technologies?

Does Recycle Technologies dispose of Plasma tv?

If your plasma tv is broken that is fine. Likewise, if you have a partially dismantled TV we at recycle technologies take that too. Once it reaches our facility, we assess it before breaking it down into its separate components. We sort all the components and process them. Once processing is complete, they can be used in other products.

Steps To Dispose of a Plasma TV

You can follow the following steps to properly dispose of a plasma TV with minimal environmental impact.

Step 1:

Find a certified electronic waste recycling company that accepts plasma TVs as part of their acceptable electronics. 

Step 2:

If you think your plasma TV is in good condition, you can also consider donating it or selling it to the manufacturer if they offer that facility. However, if your plasma TV is at the end of its lifecycle and can no longer be used you can schedule a pickup service with Recycle Technologies for recycling your old plasma TV. 

Step 3:

The plasma TV is dismantled at our recycling center to break it down into component parts. The hazardous material is safely removed at this step. 

Step 4:

The plasma Tv undergoes further separation through magnets, water, and eddy currents. This helps to separate magnetic materials present within the old plasma TV. 

Step 5:

Once the useful materials are recovered through the process of separation, they are sent off to other industries to be used as raw materials for electronics and other products.
