    Hey John wellcome to the forum. What do you do with the tv tubes.Idon't break down tv's because I can't get rid of the tubes. I know I lose a lot of copper. I use to break them down but had a hard time getting rid of the tubes.

    Glad to see you here as well! Looks like someone will have a better idea of the things I face...Such as digging your scrap out from the 3 feet of snow to take it to the yard

    Always nice to see another Wisconsinite on here. Agreed on the snow, although this year has been more mud for me with everything melting so quick.

    Nope! Nothing! And I have quickly moved on from CRT's so it looks like I'm home free from the pesky little things!

    I emailed info@goodwill yesterday, asking if they have a recycling program here (about a dozen area stores) for Glass picture tubes from TVs and monitors. The regional manager got right back said "yes, they certainly do!"
