Monitor Recycling
Responsible monitor recycling for homes and businesses. LCD/LED monitors are free. CRT monitors accepted with a small processing fee.
EverTrade Electronics accepts all types of monitors for recycling. Flat-panel LCD and LED monitors are free to recycle — they contain valuable materials like aluminum, copper, and indium that we recover. Older CRT (tube-style) monitors contain lead and require specialized processing, so a small fee applies. Whether you are upgrading one desk monitor or retiring hundreds from an office, we handle it all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is monitors recycling really free?
Yes! There is no charge to recycle monitors at EverTrade Electronics. Just drive up during business hours — no appointment needed. Businesses can schedule free pickup for pallet-size loads or larger.
Do you accept broken monitors?
Absolutely. We accept monitors in any condition — working, broken, water-damaged, cracked screens, or missing parts. There is still value in the materials.
What happens to my monitors after drop-off?
First, any data storage is securely wiped or destroyed. Working items may be refurbished for resale. Non-working items are disassembled and sorted for material recovery — metals, plastics, and circuit boards are each processed separately.
