TV Recycling
Sugar Land & Houston drop-off for every kind of TV — modern flat-panel, plasma, CRT, and projection. Transparent flat-rate processing fees by size; office and bulk pickup available.
EverTrade Electronics recycles every kind of TV — modern flat-panel LCD, LED, OLED, and QLED sets, plus older plasma, tube (CRT), and rear-projection TVs. Unlike most electronics (which we recycle for free), TVs carry a small flat-rate processing fee because their leaded glass, mercury backlights, and bonded panels require specialized handling and downstream recyclers. Whether it is one set from your living room or fifty conference-room displays from an office refresh, we handle the whole process — pickup, secure handling, and proper end-of-life recycling.

Why Recycle TVs?
- CRT TVs contain 4–8 pounds of lead per set, which can leach into groundwater in landfills
- Older flat-panel TVs use mercury backlights that need careful, regulated handling
- TV cabinets are full of recoverable copper, aluminum, and circuit board material
- Texas TCEQ rules and most local trash haulers prohibit putting TVs in regular trash
