lets just summarize then:
NY takes in monitors for free, which is a great service and i wish they offered it here in GA. I do drop off at Goodwill, which is just as good, and currently they will take them with all the cords cut. The basic notion, then, is what most people on here are getting at: it isnt very cost effective (time-wise) to strip monitors as the payoff is low. HOWEVER...there are people that have extra time and willing to make the approx $4 per monitor if they can work them quickly. But moving around big heavy monitors and tv's is a burden not many of us relish. I take them only if i have to when getting other stuff that pays.
