Crt Tvs? - Page 2

These guys recycle CRTs. They probably charge. Also, I don't know the quantities they require.

consensus is that it is not worth the effort to remove it sars.

Talked to my garbage men this week about the crt tubes they take. Turns out they got a buyer or something like that (not good English) They just asked not to break them up, and no more then 20 a week per house. i thought they didnt like me, glad that wasn't true.

O yeah and if you need to get rid of more then 20 a week you can drive them down yourself and get rid of them. (didnt want to be the a$$hat saying go dump ur CRTs on the curb)

Where I am I can sell whole crt tvs and monitors for 0.12/lb to a local yard.

I hate you tackleberry ! jk

He said in the video the speakers wern't worth anything.. to him..
I have like 12 of them and didnt know what to sort them as, or if scrap yards will even take them...
Just dont wanna toss anything yet till i know its no good =)

haha thanks Dee. I was really surprised myself. I drove by a lot of crts before I found this buyer.

Separate the speaker from its holder thing and casing and put it in a magnet bucket. Scrap yard by me pays $1 per LB as it is AlNiCo.

Ok. Now you've got me interested. Been throwing these in with shred. I get a lot of speakers. Need another bucket I see.

I wonder how strong of a magnetic field a bucket of magnets would have. I have visions of the magnet bucket being stuck to the floor of my mini van. LOL

Depends on the size of the degaussing coil. And, whether the degaussing coil is copper or aluminum. The size of the yoke is also a factor but it is usually directly proportional to the size of the CRT.

Since the back of the television is open, the circuit board is removed, and the speakers are just staring at you, why wouldn't anyone just go ahead harvest them? I think Jack the Scrapper must have just finished rolling naked in his bare bright so he wasn't thinking straight.

Great thread, read this article on some more tips on scrapping crt monitors and televisions. The copper price is high right now and these things are full of it.
