Disposal of old CRTs--particularly polychromes...

[bgadow]

There was an ad on the local craigslist a week ago asking folks to contact them regarding environmently friendly TV recycling. I thought it might have been timed with the repeat of the 60 minutes story. So, I emailed them letting them know what I collect. They replied and asked me to sign up on their website; apparently I will be listed as an "alternative" means of recycling? We shall see!

LOL - That's the best idea I've seen in a while

Per Findum-Keepum's thread. As I have mentioned before, B&W CRTs do not have a shadow mask(which causes the XRAY issue) and therefore no lead in the glass. This is the reason they do not leach lead as per the report.

Don't forget to charge them a $15 environmental disposal fee when they give you their Kuba Komet.
