Wrong Turn, Right Direction

Yesterday I picked up the kids from the sitter's (whom I just helped move which I got about $100 of scrap out of ) on my way home and leaving her street I made a right instead of a left by accident (not used to the new streets yet). So, as I'm trying to get back to the street I wanted, I see a TV at the curb up ahead, and conveniently the guy is just walking up to his door. I roll down the window and ask if its garbage "yes" can I take it? "yes"

Sweet! 27" crt (which I can scrap every pound of for $) for going the wrong (right) way!



PS didn't give him a card cause he was grumpy and looked at me funny.

I've mentioned it elsewhere in the forum in replies that I am apparently one of the chosen ones who gets to have a yard that will take all CRTs stripped or whole as "e-waste" (a very broad category I've found out). So I do the same, take back off, pull out goodies, put back on and bring all sorted to the yard. I usually wait until I have 2 or 3 stocked up but I don't have much space and since each emptied crt gets me $5 to $10 I don't let them sit for more than a week in the garage.

I'm in Canada and I think we have different rules up here for crt recycling. All I know is the yard must be making $ (very big yard, buys almost anything) and I'm leaving happy not having to get rid of 100s of pounds of plastic and leaded glass

It's so competitive around here that I need them to make $. I get by on the little stuff trucks and trailers leave behind or don't see while searching for stoves and fridges. A tv will take up as much floor space in a truck bed as a fridge but I can't fit a fridge in my car's backseat.
