    crt monitor just wondering possible outlet

    with the glass in the crt monitor having high amounts of lead and of course glass could that be sold to a road company to be used as road mix since some mixtures have lead and glass in them all ready? Has anyone gone down that avenue for the crt?
    I have been told they have crushers there so I would think that it could work.

    "Leaded CRT glass is sold to be remelted into other CRTs, or even broken down and used in road construction." - Wiki page on Crts.

    Cathode ray tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    You'll have to dig for further info tho.

    Not a problem. Glad I could help, an only could cause I retain useless info to me at the time. Heh. Your question jogged something in my brain that I remembered reading. Couldn't remember if it was the wiki or something else.

    An yea..Wiki knows everything, better then a magic 8 ball! Ha ha! Just some things..one must take with a grain of salt.

    Good luck an if it manages to work for ya let us know. I'm sure with more digging you could find more info on the road thing. Like the fella ages ago asking about roofing tiles. They can be used for asphalt roads an such, if I recall the site at the time I found. Some crazy uses for things we wouldn't normally think about.

    Plus..I like helping you Kiwi's. Even if you do like warm beer.
