    My question is the people who are disposing of the glass "Legitimately".....what is happening to their waste......From what I understand these can be sent to landfill as long as it is a specially "lined" landfill...........Seems to me a problem is being created basically out of nothing............People had these Tv's in their house for 50 years and now all of the sudden it is considered HAZ WASTE (I know when broken chemicals are released)..........As far as I can tell there is not an operating furnace here in America.........They bury all the nuclear waste and that has to be more harmful than a CRT..........When this stuff gets "cleaned up" by land owners or Gov't I guarantee it will be buried
