No! If it's a CRT monitor, it has a few pounds of lead in it. If it's a newer LCD monitor, it has mercury in it. Either way, if it winds up in a landfill, it's bad news.

Recycling or donating your old monitor is the way to go. But, in choosing a recycling company, it probably makes sense to ask what they actually do with the monitor after you pay them to take it. Many (most?) so-called recycling companies actually just ship the dangerous parts of the monitor over to Guiyu, China or some other place where we can hide our e-waste. See, for example:
