Rear projection televisions

So, I live directly across the road from a local recycling facility. Out in front of the business they have big bins for every type of recyclable material that anyone can utilize. I notice that a lot of rear projection televisions are set out in front of these bins and it got me to thinking. I see those types of tvs on craigslist for free because they are expensive to fix anymore. I know about the fresnell lenses that come out of them and people use them for fun projects, but is there enough metal in them to make it worth taking them apart?

1 or 2 everytrash day isnt that bad. just dont stack 20 outside you place unless theres a case of beer there too. looking at 2.5 pounds of copper #2 aluminum plus the boards and wires. totally worth it if its across the street.
