Monitor Recycling Made Easy | Shop.ViaTeK

If you’ve got an old monitor sitting around—maybe it’s bulky, it flickers perhaps—tossing it in the trash may feel like the easiest option. But monitor recycling is safer, greener, and often simpler than you think. Shop.ViaTeK is here to help you get rid of those screens responsibly, without needing bulk pickups or long drives.

Here’s how it works and why it matters:

Why You Should Recycle Monitors

Monitors, especially older CRTs, contain materials that can be harmful to the environment, like lead, mercury, or phosphor coatings. Even modern flat panels have metals and plastic that should be handled properly. By choosing responsible monitor recycling, you help reduce pollution, protect water and soil, and avoid potential fines from local e‑waste laws.

What You’ll Need to Do

  • Unplug your monitor and, if possible, disconnect all cables and the stand
  • Clean it lightly (dust and dirt removed) for safer handling
  • If it’s still working and you want to, check if someone needs it (donation or resale) before recycling

How Shop.ViaTeK Lets You Recycle Easily

  • Order a recycling box through the website. We offer large-sized recycling boxes and medium-sized recycling boxes.
  • Pack your monitor securely (with padding, remove detachable parts)
