Monitor Disposal

A customer has a bad CRT monitor. Is it okay to just throw it in the trash? Are there any environmental issues involved with the innards of the monitor?

Your local government might have a hazardos waste recycling place. Here in Alasaka monitors/tv's are considered hazardous and when taken to the local landfill it has to be segregated and placed into a recycle container. I charge extra for this kind of disposal.

Note that materials are not the only hazard!  The high-vacuum inside makes these things very dangerous in a disposal situation also.  The vacuum should be relieved by an experienced technician prior to disposal.
it is very dangerous just to thorow the monitor beccause it  is very explosive thing it can get blowed up if it was burn and it also bring toxic material out from the monitor. so just contact your dealer to return this trash to save displosal place
