Television and Display Screen Recycling
Televisions and monitors are electrical waste and some contain hazardous parts. We help arrange licensed collections for bulk and business quantities.
- Licensed suppliers across England, Scotland and Wales
- Waste paperwork provided with every job
- Free, no-obligation quotes
Televisions and display screens must be recycled as electrical waste rather than placed in a skip. Older cathode ray tube (CRT) sets contain leaded glass, and some earlier flat screens use backlights containing small amounts of mercury, so many are treated as hazardous. NationwideSkipHire.com helps hotels, landlords, schools, offices and clearance contractors arrange television recycling through licensed suppliers, subject to verified supplier coverage in your area.
Television and display collections are handled through Waste Cloud’s electrical waste site, WEEECollection.co.uk, or you can request a quote through our WastePrime quote form.
Types of screen collected
Suppliers in our network handle CRT televisions, LCD, LED and plasma screens, computer monitors, commercial signage displays and projector units. Tell us the approximate number of each type, the sizes and whether any screens are cracked, since broken glass and damaged panels need careful packaging.
Why screens are handled separately
Treatment facilities remove hazardous components such as leaded glass, mercury-containing lamps and circuit boards before recovering plastics, metals and glass. Placing screens in a general skip can break them and release these materials. Our electrical waste guide explains how this fits into the wider WEEE system.
Larger clearances
Hotel refurbishments, office moves and school upgrades often generate dozens of screens at once. These can be collected alongside other electricals through a WEEE collection or as part of an office clearance. Smart TVs and monitors with storage may hold personal data, so consider a data-wiping option where relevant.

Television Recycling – your questions answered
Can’t see your question? Call 0333 121 1056 or send us a message.
Is an old CRT television hazardous waste?
Generally yes, because the glass tube contains lead. It must go to a facility authorised to treat it.
Can I put a TV in my skip?
No. Televisions are electrical waste and should be collected separately.
Can one television be collected from a home?
This service suits bulk and business quantities. For a single household set, a council recycling centre or retailer take-back scheme is often simpler, or it can be included in a wider house clearance.
What if some screens are broken?
Mention it in your enquiry and include photographs. The supplier will advise on containment before collection.
How do I arrange a collection?
