    ya I wont export them with a company that does. it will take time but will still go through the city as its just a smidge better. we do not have a lot of companies around that do recycle and the ones we do are r-2 but with that comes even greater cost as the one close to me is 75cents pound which was quoted to a friend that has similar issues but he does not do electronics but gets them from clean outs. could be cheaper or more now but waiting for a quote as I want them to come get them if I am going to shuck out that much since they can all at one time being certified.
    regulations are not a bad thing in general for this as I do what I do to make money while cleaning up peoples trash but for all those who clean up TV's and monitors were I don't pick them up I worry its going to lead to more smashing or hill/ditch dumping that we have had no real problems with before.

    I'm in Ames too, I haven't been able to do a lot of scrapping while going to ISU unfortunately. I've been able to get rid of the CRT's I have come across at the local Goodwill, it's been a couple of months though, They may have changed something since then.
