That's how I understand it works here in Ontario, but it's not the deposit they get back here, the tax/fee/whatever that people pay for new electronics is used to subsidize the recycling of old electronics (everything from crt to printer to computer tower). The yard I usually go to takes them in whatever state they are in (you can remove the yoke, wiring, etc.), the only other yard I have tried had better prices posted but b!tched up a storm when the realized I had removed the goodies. He started hemming and hawing about how they don't make any money on the tubes, their profits come from gutting them themselves. He still bought the 3 crt I brought in, though, so I called BS on what he said and never went back.

Heck anything's better then nothing, wish NY had such a program instead of this "EPA is the supreme ruler" bs -.-

Our town is flooded at the free drop off point. Imagine paying for them....

All we need to do is load these in a mail truck, and cross state lines, right?
