There you go – our monitors weren’t damaged or broken. They just didn’t quite work for these ageing eyes any more.

Damaged and broken CRT monitors is what mainly constitutes damaged e-waste, the rest of the stuff is ok, I just made a phone call to lioncom, to answer the above question… sure beats speculating.

They took our old CRT monitors for us without question and even unloaded them from the car. There were pallet-loads of CRT monitors, ready to go somewhere. I hope it wasn’t China.

Obviously, they’re making enough from the good stuff to cover their costs of disposing of the bad.

What constitutes “damaged”?

That depends if they plan on refurbishing or recycling. If they plan on refurbishing they probably wont take anything physically damaged. If they plan on recycling, the only ‘damage’ I could imagine getting in their way would be something like corrosion or contamination.

The way they only ask for undamaged goods, it does seem like this is more of a refurbishing excercise than a recycling excercise though.
