Is throwing a computer monitor in the trash against the law?

Basically yes, all Monitors and Computers should be disposed of under WEEE guidelines. To be safe either take you monitor down to a local refuse site where they will have a specific container for electrical and electronic equipment, or contact a company such as Secure Data Recycling.

Secure Data Recycling come into their own when you have several computers and monitors, if you are a business or organisation with a large number of PC’;s and Monitors contact Secure Data Recycling to ensure that you don’t fall foul of the law.
