Do you break down televisions?

I've started to scrap CRT's now that I know what's in them.

But I only do it if it's part of another load that I am taking. So if I pick up 30 computers in a lot auction, I won't cherry pick at it. I take everything that's on the pallet. But the toughest thing about CRT's is the proper disposal. The last time I got rid of a bunch of CRT's, I think that the poor sole who asked me for them had no idea that I already gutted them because they were all re-assembled and the cord was still intact.

A) why did you not take the cords? That's money.
B) how were the cords intact if you gutted them?

A. It wasn't enough for it to be worth it to me. I only wanted the circuit boards. Plus they make a great carrying handle.
B. The grommet was fused to the plastic part of the cabinet unlike many others where the grommet is slotted and sits inside of the cutout of the metal panel.
