I bring in about 150 lbs of copper per month just from tvs. I love and will keep popping them. Here is my general rule. When I see them, I bend them over, respectfully take all the valuables out, close up nicely, put it back in its up-standing position and be on my way. For every 50 tvs I come across, I might only have to bring one. My ultimate goal, don't bring home the cow if you can get the milk freely.
