first big e-scrap pickup yesterday, and first scrapyard trip today

In trying to sort everything and I'm putting some items to the side to test them and possibly sell them. When I first started I picked up every crt that I saw, and I was throwing them in my dumpster at work after I stripped them, until I got to work one morning and a tv I had thrown out the day before was sitting on the dock lol. The cost to recycle them in my area is ridiculous! Anywhere from $20 - $50 depending on the size. I contacted newtech recycling in NJ, bout an hour from me, and they charge .40/# for stripped tvs. Bestbuy will take 3 a day under 32" so I'm doing that for now, but I feel like off they keep seeing me bring tvs in they might cut me off since their service is for residential recycling not for businesses. So once I get rid of all these I'm not taking anymore unless it's part of a bigger load.

That's a big problem. My business is located in Delaware and they have free drop off. That's why I take all I can get. And, I'll only pick up 10or more, unless its part of a lot.
