regulations for my x-mas present this year caught me with my pants down

Crt's have been a problem a long time for a lot of scrappers. Sadly our best solution is to find an exporter . The problem with them in these last few years or more is, that the product manufactured from the glass was new crt's. New products need to be developed that can utilize CRT glass. But that's out of my pay grade. For now I'm good on having a drop off place. But change is coming, I can feel it.

I got into this trying to avoid exporting at all. We don't need to be sending out junk to other countries. It was suggested to me to contact NuLife here in NY(which I have and am awaiting response) but for now, everyone else who has CRTs should do the same - at least they have the facility to handle this. Sure alot of you guys will have to bite the bullet on shipping but it's better to do that then to give them to some outfit who's just going to export em.
