Television
When your family buys a new television, you can help the environment by recycling the old one. When televisions go to landfills or incinerators, heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the inside can be harmful if released into the environment. Indiana’s electronic waste law requires us to recycle electronic products we no longer want. Recycling conserves natural resources and avoids pollution.
