What hazardous materials are in LED backlit LCD screens?

The context of the question is a 75" samy LED lit LCD where the panel was broken in shipment. Vendor replaced the TV but did not take back the broken one. They told us to pitch it.

I'm planning to take the boards out since they're good. But what should I do with the panel itself? It seems like something we could pitch in the dumpster since I can't think of any toxic or hazardous material in the panel.

A plasma, CRT, or florescent LCD would be different. Those would have to go to a recycler.

Am I wrong? Is an LED LCD toxic/hazardous waste?

My handle is Tweety but I have nothing to do with the organization of similar name. I just had a really big head as a child so folks called me tweety bird.
