At least the crt monitors have some copper value compared to regular tv crt's.

no one around me will take them off the curb. I know that for a fact. I also see, literally hundreds, being offered for free in my local area on letgo/craigslist. No one want them except landfills (for money usually), or subsidized landfills (like the one by me you need to be a resident of the local county, and show id and are only allowed 3, and they must be in one peice... this is subsidized by local taxes I am assuiming, hence the id/residency checking) OR places required by law (in PA) to accept them because they sell similar items (bestbuy, staples, etc).

KSS, in eastern PA, a large medical supplier does a large electronics drive for its employees (which includes anyone that gives them items). Thats where my CRT TV's will go. I also give staples most of my printers, unless they are old and heavy and can have most of the plastic removed to qualify as shred/light iron.
