    I can now recycle 100% of the things I scrap

    I decided to call Goodwill today and ask about bare CRT glass. The lady on the phone gladly responded yes, which kinda surprised me. Anyway, now I can recycle 100% of the electronics I scrap, which is awesome. I have a place where I recycle plastics, and now Glass. Awesomeness.

    That's what i'm hoping! I'll have to get a few of them and go test it. On their ReConnnect website, it says any electronics in any condition, so i'm taking their word on that.

    I called so I could prevent myself from being stuck with CRT's, and so I could not be accused of fraud if you know what I mean. I have a pickup for a monitor tomorrow, so I might try to make a run within the next week. We shall see.

    I ran a couple of CRT's into Goodwill today, and the guy looked at them for a moment, and said "Yep, we'll take those!" I was pleasantly surprised.
