Recycling of CRT
workers manually
dismantle most electronic
equipment and sort out
valuable commodities that
are sold to various
recyclers.

CRTs ready to be
"crushed" for
recycling.

The
CRT
crusher
is
completely self-contained
in
a
transportable
shipping container.

Crushed CRT glass,

coated
with
lead,
ready for processing
by a lead smelter.

Other components from

electronics are separated
and sold as commodities
to various recyclers.
