    If this is expected to be a no charge service, I agree with PTS. However, if you can charge a handling fee for the TVs and monitors, I don't see why not. Cover the cost of shipping them to a processor, and extra for your handling time.

    This would depend on your risk tolerance. If you can deal with breaking even or a small loss, it may be worth landing a long term revenue source. The amount of CRTs in the e-waste stream is rapidly decreasing. I would try it for a bit to see how it develops, but I have a more long term approach to business.
