    Not a problem sir!

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    If your client is selling CRT glass to someone that is information that many members here would like to have.

    Goodwill stopped taking TV's here in Denver last November so we had to adjust accordingly.
    I say eco friendly, but about 10 to 15 years ago, the EPA cracked down on landfills around the area, and now they have to do everything to EPA standards or face HEAVY fines. I dont know what they do with the tv's other than the fact they are recycled and disposed of properly.

    Their fee is part of the normal dumping fees. Even if I had a trailer load of TV's, it will be under $60, which to me is a small price to pay, for all the electronics I will be getting, as well as any new business it brings in for me.

    The guy I was referring to, I don't know if he sells the CRT glass to anyone. I just know that he disposes of everything properly. The plastic he sets out for recycling, because our trash company takes it.
