*Free Monitor & TV (CRT) Recycling

California's Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 pays the ACCRC to recycle your monitors and TVs (CRTs) at no charge if they are from California. In the unusual event that your displays are not from California, the ACCRC will charge $ .50 per pound to cover their cost for recycling them properly. All other electronics are free, no matter what, even if they came from New Jersey.

**Out of State CRTs are not qualified for free recycling

The ACCRC charges $.50 per pound for:

  1. Monitors & TVs (CRTs) from outside of California
  2. Monitors & TVs (CRTs) received from other collectors that do not have California source informaton, which is the name & address of the users of the CRTs.
