Pretty much, a badass.
There's no sort o' mistake in little Bullet. He can pick up miles on his feet, and fling 'em behind him as fast as the next man's hoss, I don't care where he comes from. And he can keep at it as long as the sun can shine without resting.

I'm guessing that Johny can't/won't read and that's not good cause all of our great information is in print form, you just have to search it out. And posting questions in the intro section ain't cool either.

@Bear.....I post that Goodwill had run an ad in my area (Waterloo, IA) saying That. I don't know if that is for everywhere though. I do know they mentioned all of the counties in and around my area. In the ad they did mention having lost their connection with their down stream vendor. I will try to find a print form of the ad later today and post it in another thread.
There may a million better places to live than Iowa, but none of them are home!

I read that as well. Just this month they stopped I guess. A few down near Milwaukee, WI still take them, but the corparate office has said their downstream dissolved. Not completely sure, but my Goodwill never accepted them, the director didn't want to deal with them I guess.
HOWEVER
Best Buy will take up to 3 items per household, per day, of monitors and TV's up to 32". They cannot be disassembled (You may get away with pulling boards or taking copper yokes, but I keep them whole as I get $5 for each one I take from a recycler up here so I'm fine with that alone). As soon as you get to the store, ask at the desk, and they give you a utility cart to bring them in the store. Then you leave..Simple!
Nearest best buy is about 70 Miles from here, but luckily I visit down there often to pick up scrap. So I guess some Goodwill stores may still take them, and Best Buy still does for sure!
I gut mine, reassemble them, and put them out by the curb. Inevitably, the Sunday night scrap patrol picks them up. I'm sure they aren't real happy when they get home though lol.
When they don't pick them up, Waste Management grabs them on trash day.
