Why charities won't take them?
Some thrift shops were being overrun since it was cheaper to donate than E-waste. There were times where the Goodwill stores had 20-50 CRT sets on the shelves for $0.49 a piece...You could setup a wall of TVs cheaper than a fast food lunch. They did not sell, and cost charities money to E-waste, and the bigger ones were giving thrift employees hernias from lifting the weight. Goodwill and some other charities stopped accepting CRT TVs.
