All end of life materials are disassembled or shredded in NC where metals are separated by type and returned to the commodities market. Plastics are separated and marketed into the plastics markets. TVs and end of life monitors are disassembled at our facility where the glass is sent to a CRT manufacturer for new tubes and the other materials are sent to their respective markets (metals or plastics).  We do not landfill electronics materials. “
