How to recycle a TVin Kansas City.

Televisions are classified as electronic waste, and most municipal waste services in the Kansas City metro area will not accept them with regular trash or bulk pickup. Older TVs in particular contain toxic substances sealed inside the screen and circuit boards. When these materials break down in a landfill, they can leach into soil and groundwater, creating serious environmental and public health risks.

Missouri does not currently have a statewide e-waste recycling law, which means proper TV disposal falls on the individual. Fortunately, responsible recycling options are available in the Kansas City area at no cost to you.

Computer Recycling LLC offers TV recycling — your first 3 TVs free, then $10 each — at our facility located at 125 E 10th Ave, North Kansas City, MO 64116. We accept flat-screen televisions including LCD TVs, LED TVs, and OLED TVs at any screen size. The first 3 TVs per drop-off are free; each additional TV is $10 regardless of size, and computer monitors are always free with no limit. Drop-off is available Monday through Friday from 8am to 3pm and Saturday from 8am to 2pm. No appointment is necessary — just drive up and our team will help you unload.

We are conveniently located just north of downtown Kansas City, easily accessible from I-35, I-29, and I-70. Whether you are coming from Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Independence, Liberty, or anywhere else in the KC metro, we are a short drive away.

We accept most modern flat-screen televisions for recycling:

• LCD TVs— all brands and sizes

CRT (tube) TVs and plasma TVs are not accepted. These older television types contain high levels of lead and other hazardous materials that require specialized processing. If you have a CRT or tube TV that needs recycling, check with your local household hazardous waste facility or contact the Kansas City area recycling hotline for current options.

When your television arrives at our facility, it goes through a responsible recycling process. Flat-screen TVs are carefully disassembled, and the components are sorted by material type. Metals, plastics, circuit boards, and glass are each sent to specialized downstream processors where they are recovered and reused in new products. Nothing goes to a landfill. We are committed to zero-landfill electronics recycling, and we maintain full compliance with all EPA and state environmental regulations.

• Remove any connected devices— Unplug streaming sticks, game consoles, or cable boxes before bringing your TV in.
• Factory reset smart TVs— If your TV has apps with logged-in accounts (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube), perform a factory reset to log out of all services.
• No need to keep the remote, cables, or stand— We accept the TV as-is, but you are welcome to bring accessories along for recycling too.
• Broken TVs are fine— Cracked screens, non-working TVs, and water-damaged units are all accepted.
