    Goodwill Industries takes TV's, monitors and computers for free. You'll have to talk to them about the quantity.

    In Colorado they no longer take any TVs. I have dropped off 15 CRTs at 1 time. I just had to tell them and they brought out a gaylord on a fork lift.

    Best Buy also has a recycle program..many will only take 2 per person per day but you can always ask. Limits are on tvs - 32" or less..no cabinet tvs.

    Now you have 2 options that take then free.

    I will take them. Let me know when. Ohh and I only take them whole and I prefer the power and VGA cables to go with them (it offsets my plastic and tube disposal costs)

    I do a lot local towns and get so many tv and monitors I cant find a buyer anymore. It seems all the larger guys are just charging .10 a lbs and just getting paid .02 a pound. So they are making .12. IT must be not cost effective anymore to break them down. Or my buyers would be. Its a in and out operation now on crt. So im charging my customers a fee per unit or by the pound. ITs tough with towns. Many changes have to go to town meeting or some process to change.

    Anyone export the good ones to other counties. There must be a market in Mexico or South America or Africa where quality tested crt and monitors could be sold.

    I cant go change my contracts with some people yet. I dont want to be stuck with 200 tvs a trip a day or week coming in that I am paying to get off.

    Im a battery guy. I loved electronics until the crt problem came up in the last few months. Im not sticking good will or best buy with units I promised to recycle through proper channels.

    Any ideas or anyone local to Central MA talk to me.

    Only place I found that takes the tubes charges me for it, so I'm really not trying to be outlandish but that does offset cost. I have to pay for the tube disposal and fuel to get it to them. Waste Management sites won't take the tubes anymore they say because WI defunded the CRT/TV program. If I found someone who would take stripped tubes then that's a different story.
