Staples takes Dell Monitors for free for recycling......and at least 50% of the monitors I acquire are Dells. Best Buy takes their brand for free (E-Machines, I think) and for all other ones, charges $10, but gives you a $10 gift card in return. We have a local recycling/trash dump that charges, but does it by weight. $50 a ton. It takes a LOT of monitors to make 2,000 pounds.
