Why is it so difficult to recycle a TV?

PA passed an Extended Producer Responsibility electronics recycling law in 2010 which, quite frankly, has failed to provide the robust manufacturer supported electronics recycling opportunities many thought it would.  Primarily in response to the lack of manufacturer supported TV recycling opportunities, Cumberland County opened a fee-based electronics recycling center in July 2017.  For details, please visit our 

Electronics Recycling Center Page.
