Get rid of the tube? Check your local Goodwill, I did some Googling and it looks like Goodwill has the Reconnect program in Pittsburgh which accepts computers, etc. Call and ask them. There is also many threads on here discussing the exact question you just asked. Use the search function, and most any questions you could ever have can be found by using it.

Pull the insides and put the back on with screws and deliver them to the local Goodwill (check with them first).
Yolks I usually eat with toast, yummm

Best Buy, Staples, Goodwill, or Eloop (Ewaste Recycler, Plum, PA) will not take any TV that has anything missing from them. I have made my calls to all of them to find out what to do with my scrapped out TV's since PA passed the new ewaste law. Dlubak Glass in Natrona Heights told me that I could drive the CRT tubes to there OH plant. Eloop told me to call 1-800-GOTJUNK. I already visited with my local State Rep and haven't heard anything from him. I have turned down about 15 TV's so far this year because of this new law, but I do have some TV's here that I need to scrap out and get rid of, and would like to do it properly.
