36 - 27" TV's

Speaking for myself, I don't break the tubes fully nor toss'm in the trash. When I was getting those kind that were plastered/cemented/whatever that crap is that sticks them to it...I would just break the part with the yoke attached. Nowadays I just ignore that **** yoke and grab the board an wires, an drop the sucker off at my recycle center. When I did have to break that one part, I would smash it up as BC said in a blanket or on a piece of cardboard, pluck out my copper and put the glass back in the tube, an again drop it off at my recycle center.

I always felt bad doing it. I'd never smash an entire tube. I'd rather lose the money then smash an entire tube.

One could call me a jerk for how I handled it I guess, but eh..I've been called worse.

Breaking the tubes it just too much of a risk for me. I always imagine myself tripping while carrying it to the truck and landing chest first on the jagged glass. Don't want to win a Darwin just to get a yoke off. I also seem to always get an itch in my ear or eye every time i pick up a box knife, almost like my brain is daring me to use the blade to scratch it!! I think my subconscious wants me severely injured!!
