    Glass, glass, glass!

    As most of yall know i'm a big tv/monitor recycler. Today i finally got too move out the tons upon tons of glass i have. Unfortunately didnt get it all, but a good chunk. At the end of the day, with the help of a buddy, i moved out just over 9 tons of glass. TONS. All properly recycled, not just "smashed up".

    Anyway. I'm looking for a better way to deal with this glass. Tomorrow i'll be reaching out to the State to see if i can find someone CLOSE to me that will take these CRT's and be happy. Other than driving 40 miles round trip.

    I've included some pictures, just because it's fun





    ^^^ 2 of my bins provided by a local scrap yard. Each contain around 100 tubes. About 2000 pounds each, roughly.



    ^^^ About 200 tubes (roughly) in the front of the picture. Behind the first pile, are another 2 bins provided by a local yard, filed with misc. tin from the breakdown of tv's/monitors. About 1600 pounds there of tin. The little white trailor is also full of tubes, about 80 i believe. And behind that, you can't really see it but theirs about a 20ft x 15ft section of 2-3 high tubes. Around 250 tubes.



    ^^^ That's 1, of 6 big piles of low grade, not broken down yet. My employee can bust out about 60 tv's of any size, every 8 hours. I'm in charge of the breakdown of lowgrade, and the cones.

    What's not shown: My cones, gaylord of unstripped degaussing cable, and my gaylords of lowgrade. I didnt want to put those on here, too many prying eyes that would risk breaking into the shop. I have roughly, 400 un broken down cones, thousands of degaussing cables, and at last count 11 full gaylords of low grade. Low grades getting sold tomorrow, just too clear out space.

    Anyway, just wanted to show yall what i was dealing with. I know i've talked on here about having tons of glass, so i decided to put my pics where my mouth was! haha. Hope yall enjoyed.
