To me, I know what I have to pay for 1,400 lbs of monitors and tvs, which is only like $50 or less dollars. My landfill does recycling, so everything we drop off, gets sorted, and they actually double dip in the funds, but that is on them.

I am thinking of charging probably $5 a monitor. It would take a lot to generate 1,400lbs of them, and even at $5 a month, the first 10 will pay for the disposal, and then the rest is profit.

You would be surprised at how fast you can generate that weight in monitors. They easily weigh between 30-70 pounds each.

Well the biggest load I ever took in was 1,400lb and it cost me I think like $42. However, it was a mixture of tv's and monitors too.
