    Ya i usually go to a few other local yards for my larger scrap loads, I only go there when i have a small load and tv's! I had about 6 tv's not pictured with that load, all the other yards will only let you take in a couple a year per id....sac scrappers you can take a unlimited number of tv's and computer monitors in whenever.....I usually go to the yard on Qst and elkhorn, or TKO depending on what area im in.

    Really? How much do they pay for TVs? I usually take mine to the electronics recycling place on Richards and they pay 0.06/lb, but I have to have names/address/phone from the people I got them from. I like going to TKO, that's where I usually go. However, I went in to simms the other day, and their prices are much better than anywhere else I've been to. I think a lot of the yards sell to them.

    they only pay .3 cents a lb. but ive already used all the other yards and my limit for tv's so unless i have the time to strip the tv's of the copper and dispose of the waste, i really dont have anywhere esle to take them, so i pile them up and turn them in to sac scrappers because theres no limit and some times its easier then stripping them...
