Disposal of old CRTs--particularly polychromes...

[Old1625]

My larger question is: After I pay the seemingly exorbitant fees--what ultimately happens to them...?! Where do they go from my "recycling" station?

Maybe I can get a straight answer from my municipality, but I just bring the question up here to see how you folks handle this. And to see if you know where they all end up.

It can't be easy to dispose of a CRT, as they need to be dismantled, and the various elements separated...

It seems a complicated process....

Check this out: recycling CRT

The cut the front off which has loads of lead and recycle separately. At this facility anyway.
