Might be worth looking into if you can get rid of the glass and plastic.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

I have the problem of getting rid of the glass. Locally it costs $5 per each at the land fill and no other near by commercial places to get rid of it. That is most likely why these guys are willing to give it away.
In addition my 12' X 28' shop might be a little small for this job. Mike.

This is a great idea! If they want them I am sure they will give you something to put them in!Originally Posted by Bear

Almost like i saw on the Lowes thread, said not to mess with the local management, but find the regional office. Same thing i did at goodwill here, quite by accident though. Looked up goodwill to contact the closest store and noticed this area/region has about 12 stores, and the info@ email went to there. I asked if they had the glass picture tube recycling locally and the same day got a reply from the regional manager saying "Yes, we do". Now when I go to drop some off, and if the local manager has no knowledge of it, I have the regional managers name to refer him to.

On the Goodwill suggestion...Feh. I tried my local Goodwill, huge mistake. I'll be driving to Va beach if I can't find someone to buy/take these crts I currently have. Dealing with my local Goodwill left a horrid taste in my mouth to the point, I won't be shopping or donating to them anytime soon. I was treated quite rudely there once while looking at stuff with the wife, an a second time when I asked them about the tv dropoff program they have.
My GW doesn't look on scrappers very well. Basically act like we're all meth heads who bust in to homes an rip copper out..wtf man?! Anyhow, I learned my lesson, I'll be dealing with district management or corporate from now on if I ever decide to try them again. I also will never donate to my local one ever again. My thoughts on donating to them may come as me being a douche, but eh..You treat me bad, I'll take my stuff elsewhere. They forget they aren't the only thrift store here. I'm sure my other local thrift stores will enjoy my cash/check donation all the more so.
Sometimes life on a sandbar isn't go grand, but that's when I say eff it, grab a beer, some wire, an go sit on the beach an do some stripping. HA! ( yes I pick up my mess, don't want to kill any birds, sea turtles, etc)

How much copper will this yeild? I say around 1000 lbs.
|

If they are intact, and you estimate 3 lbs of copper per unit, I bet a little more than that. I guess we'd need the weight of each one right.. or would you just divide 11,000 by 3?
Have spoken to owner and am making plans to pick them up first of next week. Looks like Im gonna be busy for the next couple weeks!
the LARGE(700+) gov auctions of crts i have seen average about 45lbs per monitor with pallets. so i figured appx 225 monitors to be real safe(all my #s are on the low side just in case). that math would look something like this...
225 monitors x2.5lbs cu = 562.5 lbs #2 cu
6500lbs glass @ .08 lb (Hey Mike i found someone who buys crt glass not to far away!!!I will let you know before i make my first trip down there)
+ the low grade boards,transformers, AL shields,bits of steel,and random Stainless...should do ok after gas and other expenses.
Another nice SCORE from reading this forum!!! THANKS HYPOMAN!!!
Shootsitall can you share the info on the crt buyer?? I am in VA and need to find somebody who will buy them. thanks
Nice get!
I'm telling you this forum is better than a college education, I know I have one. Great news Shootsital. A very big thanks to Hypoman for keeping his eyes open and sharing, Mike.
