I'm just curious if there really is anything in an LED screen that is hazardous. I think the regulation is more for saving landfill space than it is keeping hazmat out of the dump.
it is more then just that. In the end all garbage ends in the landfill no matter how it gets there.
Where I live
green waste (municipal): grass clippings, hedge trimmings, leaves in the fall, fruits from fruit trees... are turned into compost that the city uses and saves on fertilizer.
brown waste (municipal): tree branches, Christmas trees.... are shredded into mulch.
electronics (provincial): taken apart hazardous material treated accordingly, metals/plastic/glass recycled the rest dump.
