The environmental concerns created due to the disposal of lead embodied in cathode ray tubes used in computer monitors and the public policy adopted to manage e-waste are discussed. It is found that in all cases, the costs of the policies exceed the value of the avoided health effects of cathode ray tubes disposal.
