    Same here, trash men won't touch them, scrappers are just cutting the cords and moving on. No place to take the tubes. Been passing the same one's sitting at the curb week after week...like street markers.

    Lot of the 30" and up lately...they're just too much for me to load even if there was someplace to get rid of them.

    What about Best Buy, for example? I found them through a search on Earth 911 and it appears they take CRTs whether they work or not. They say they limit it to 3 items per person per day or something, so I guess for just me by my lonesome it might work out. Obviously I can't really afford to have the stuff laying around, and I don't want to spend my hard earned cash on having to get rid of them.
