Which of the following cannot be thrown in the normal trash and should be thrown away or recycled according to special guidelines?
  1. Replacement UPS Battery
  2. Chassis Screws
  3. CRT Monitors
  4. Used toner cartridges
Explanation
Answers: A, C, D - Replacement UPS Batteries, CRT Monitors, and Used Toner Cartridges cannot be thrown in the normal trash and should be thrown away or recycled according to special guidelines.

Key Takeaway - Since batteries and toner cartridges contain chemicals that warrant an MSDS (or Materials Safety Data Sheet), they should not be thrown away in the regular garbage as they can damage the environment and harm animals or people who come upon the discarded items. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors almost always hold a charge (even for a long time after being unplugged), and should also be disposed of properly. Chassis screws, while dangerous for certain children and animals if ingested, do not need to be disposed by special means.
