crt blues.

I went to a local recycle facility to drop of some gutted out computer monitors. They told me they no longer accept them like that. They now charge $8. My local goodwill no longer takes gutted montors either. I took what I had to a local Staples store and the manager gave me the old stink eye but took them any way. I'm guessing that place will cut me off also. Apparently these places want the goods inside monitors also or they just don't want to deal with more than one item at a time. My local transfer station charges $4 per monitor and $5 per tv. gutted or not. I guess I won't be picking up any tv's from the curb any more.

Thats what I dont understand. They are getting paid anyway and I am doing them a favor by getting them more volume.

If the total amount is under 220 lbs toss them in the trash. Why leave it to go to the dump when you can save at least some of it from from going there.

They have a minimum and they meaning the company buying the crts I believe they cover shipping also. You have to remember someone has to pallatize the crts and labor is not free also they have to store it till they get the minimum and that costs money also.

I think a t-shirt with the title of this thread would be cool. "CRT Blues"

As a fellow Mainer, how do you dispose of crt's in this anti business state.
