    It's not worth .28 cents, but some of us are busting tail an getting paid a measly .08lb for shred..think I better call that person from texas who asked for scrap.

    Seriously tho,

    If you find it worth your time, keep it up. You can do alright with monitors an TV's if you have a way to dispose of the glass, without being charged. An if you do, good on you.

    Some folks are cool with dealing with monitors an TV's. Some....aren't. I do enjoy a tv or monitor now an then. I get them for free a lot of the time, or have folks dropping them off when I'm not here. Nothing like coming home to several huge ass crt tv's an assorted sizes of tube monitors.

    Your money will come from the yokes, an degaussing cables.(The stuff in electrical tape). The wire, boards, etc will all add up. If your yard takes low grade brown boards at lest. Mine just pays shred for them. It's all good, just more weight for the shred pile when I go. I remove the flybacks, an heat sinks of course, and any an all wire. The ferrite, the metal stuff around the yoke is also for the shred pile. Will add some weight if you get enough tv's an monitors.



    Several good threads out there on the subject.

    An for the record...only YOU can put a value on YOUR time. What may not be worth it to me, may be worth it to you, an all that good stuff. As one of my favorite sayings go...YMMV.
