I made a nice contract with a man who clears out old stock from the big screen store . He offered to bring me a box truck a month for free. But to recycle these properly after gutting leaves no room for profit . Sadly I declined the offer after receiving only one load.
    Love to know who that guy is I'll take all he has as long as they are intact.

    Yeah delivered to your door is great but it took me a week just to get through the beasts . The box truck was about 26 ft had a 73 inch beast Mitsubishi and a few sonys that were over 400 pounds a piece . I can't show up at the landfill with a truck load of tubes . They don't recycle the glass they just dispose of them . Plus it is about $120 a load if they think your commercial or if they see you more than 6 times a year. I couldn't find a recycler that would make the time involved profitable considering I'm dealing with thousands of pounds of wood, and paying to dispose of tubes.

    If you know of a local place to take tubes please let me know ,I just wanted to make sure that they were being recycled and not just disposed of .
