    regulations for my x-mas present this year caught me with my pants down

    so for Christmas the crt regulations finally caught up with us over here in our corner of iowa. I new it was coming just did not know when and now I am sitting on about 130 TV's/monitors its all that worse.
    I had it easy for a long time though as here before it was that the garbage would not pick them up with out paying but our city grinds and separates our garbage taking out metals and most glass before its used with coal to burn for making our electricity.
    so maybe not the greatest recycling but better than land filling it. the best part was that for $22 a truck load I could stack um high and the insides paid for it and a bit of profit as well. so now the even worse and dreaded regulations came from the Grinch down from the mountain and said.....
    crts now are considered hazardous waste for over 3 or more and can only be transported and such with out special licensing which I can not get because I am to small to build a regulated facility. so I am limited to landfilling them for 3 a day which is expensive or the city limits to 2 each day which at a car load trash rate of $8 still means $4each. so its going to be a pain slowly slowly having to get rid of them.
    on top of which I now have to charge everyone now cause it costing me money which may cost me business because a lot of my regulars give me so much because I save them so much by taking monitors with computers. so because of the influx this time of year and being lazy a bit the last month I am now sitting on so many lumps of coal in my stocking
