Antonenko emphasized that kinescope televisions are already obsolete and are often thrown into ordinary garbage. However, they can be recycled.

"Plastic is crushed and remelted into granules for further use in new products. For most it is garbage, for some it is raw material for production processes," he wrote.

Antonenko added that you can also bring plastic chairs, tables and other furniture for recycling. They should be clean without foreign objects, for example, without tape, paint, wire, rivets, self-tapping screws, etc. Such plastic is also melted down into pellets for reuse.
