I just took apart some 17" lcds this weekend. There is a row of bulbs at top and bottom of a plexi-glass type screen. Those are the hazardous items in an lcd. Beyond that I got about 5 pounds of shred and a little over 1/2 pound of hi-grade boards. The circuit board that is attached to the front display is mostly gold plated, may see what my buyer classes that as. another pound of power supply board. The plexi glass is about 1/2" thick, might make a neat set of shelves with them. A bonus was all the semi-transparent sheets that filter the light. I gave those to the wife to make sewing patterns with. Reduce reuse recycle, each has its value.
