The story behind
CRT TV/monitor
recycling

This Saturday, June 22,
Keep Pickens Beautiful in
vites you to recycle your
CRT TV/Monitor from 10
a.m.- 1 p.m. at the Pickens
Recycling Center on Appa
lachian Court. As you may
know, CRT TVs and moni
tors are not accepted at the
landfills or local recycling
centers, so they are hard to
get rid of.
The charge you pay re
flects the cost of CRT re
cycling. KPB pays for CRT
recycling by the pound, and
we also pay for the safe
transportation of the load to
Novus Solutions in Mariet
ta.
*Up to 50 lbs - $10.00
*50-100 lbs. - $15
•100-200 lbs. - $20
•200-plus lbs. - $40
To understand, let’s take
a step back in time to the
early days of TVs and mon
itors. Cathode ray tubes
(CRTs) were the technology
used universally in TVs and
monitors for over 60 years
because of their easy acces
sibility, affordable pricing,
compatibility, and long life.
As liquid crystal display
(LCD) and light emitting
diode (LED) monitors came
onto the scene, they offered
improved video resolutions
with smaller TV sizes and
comparable price points,
CRT monitors fell out of use
and have now become “elec
tronic waste.”
So why are they so dif
ficult to recycle? Lead is

a big challenge. Each TV
contains between four and
eight pounds of lead. If not
properly handled, lead can
cause significant environ
mental and health issues.
There are several loca
tions where lead is found in
the CRT monitors. The front
glass screen contains 2-3%
lead, the neck and funnel
glass contains 22-30% lead,
and the frit, or the solder that
holds it all together, contains
about 80% lead and has a
very low melting point.
In addition to the lead,
there are other toxic mate
rials, such as barium, nick
el, zinc, and strontium. If
the CRT monitors aren’t
responsibly recycled, these
materials can leach into our
environment, causing seri
ous health risks to humans
and hazardous environmen
tal conditions.
KPB has partnered with
Novus Solutions because
of their commitment to en
suring all materials are han
dled properly. By carefully,
manually disassembling the
items, hazardous materials
are handled appropriate
ly and other items, such as
the plastic, metals, circuit
boards, and more, are sepa
rated for recycling as well.

A beautiful morning with
the heat rising didn’t slow
down the market, although a
few people may have started
melting a bit by noon. With
Sunday being Father’s Day,
certainly some customers
found just the right gift for
the father in their life. After
all there are so many terrific
items that will make a great
gift. From Iron Rabbit Forge
to GA Rustic Candle you
cannot go wrong.
Be sure and slow your
roll to check out the ven
dor’s items. You will hap
pily find some great items
and great produce. The veg
gies are certainly filling the
market tables and could be
filling your plates at home.
Radish, onions, greens, yel
low squash, carrots, bok
choy and so much more.
And if you need a new
companion, Kelly Family
Pets, brought beautiful pup
pies for adoptions (plus, a
few kittens.) The puppies
were as cute as can be and
included Black Mouth Cur,
Labs, and the smallest group
of several puppies in a crate
may be terrier mixes. They
were found at the work site
and brought to Kelly Fami
ly Pets who have a pet store
in Jasper. They are experi
enced foster pet givers and
work with all the local pet
rescues trying to find good
homes for great pets. (Or is
that great homes for good
pets?) Someone’s grand
daughters had their eye on a
cute little white pup with big
color spots. Cross fingers
the puppy gets a home.
