NuLife for CRTs

I see this as the turning point for CRTs and this is where it all needs to go. Even to those that are out of state who feel shipping a bunch of tubes to NY is alot, it is alot but it's worth it in the name of environment cleanup. I'll be charging to accept CRT monitors and tvs now to offset the cost of refinery now.

Matt,

To follow up on one of your other posts, you indicated that they had a minimum load size of 1/2 a truck. I'm assuming this means 22 gaylords. Can you confirm this? Do they supply pallets, gaylords and plastic bags for in the gaylords, or is that your responsibility?

Wow ^.^ I'm gone on a trip to Fulton to pick up my brother-in-law and come back to lots of questions. I love it! Ok, let's see if I can answer some questions here:

I'll email John back and ask him just to make sure because he was talking to me this morning when I was half awake and might have misheard.

I wish smelters like NuLife gave for their glass instead of charge for it since it's going into other projects like batteries and stuff, and there's a slim possibility I might be able to squeeze a 20 from them for gas but I doubt it.

And then, if I have to pay .11 for NuLife to process the CRT and shipping will cost .16-.19, then charging .50 cents per pound to take CRT monitors might at best be a breakeven proposition. However, I would have the copper and low grade boards. What thoughts does anyone else have on this?

And they would thank everyone and ask for more - their site says the facility can handle over 200,000,000 lbs of glass so...

Yes, John said that they take the tubes only by gaylords but I'd think that'd be a bit pricy(I know when I went to go price them $80's alot when you don't have it). John said since I'm closer to Dunkirk then some I'd save by not having to ship it so I take that to mean I can drive it in but I'll have to email him back to make sure.


Have more questions about CRTs or nulife? post here and I'll keep this thread updated.
