So recently I purchased approx 50 crt monitors from a surplus auction. All various models and types. So far I have gone through half of them and man its a lot of work.
I paid 75 bucks for all the monitors and with the auction only 3 miles from home, I have not used much gas. So far I have pulled in about 100 dollars from the #2 copper I got out of them. About 25 dollars from the insulated wires and 7 dollars from aluminum.



When I started I was saving the plastic to sell to a local plastic recyclers for .12 cents a pound. But the plastic just builds takes up too much space and with barely 100 pounds it just is not worth the drive and effort to get paid for it. I found a recycle dumpster within a quarter mile so that is where it is now. Dealing with the glass tubes has been very frustrating as well.

I could always just piece the monitors back together and place them for another unsuspecting scrapper to pick up. Let them deal with it! However, I feel bad doing that now, it is just not the right thing to do. So I will continue recycling the plastics to try and "do my part" in "saving the environment" lol..
