Computer Recycling is currently a costly procedure.
The cost of CRT recycling accounts for 79% of the expenditures.
- This would increase by another 75% if recycling was done in the U.S. due to CRT handling laws.
Equipment drop off at plant by consumer can reduce costly transportation costs.
Better ECD&M regulations are needed to increase the ability and profitability of Computer Recycling.
