As long as you have a means and way to dispose of any chemicals or any kinda crt or mercury containing monitor or flat screen tv. then I don't see why you would need to be licensed. Pretty much as long as your impact on the environment is positive then why should you need one. I do see it coming to that though were you will be required to have a license to operate as a certified e-waste remover and dismantling. There's to many problems with illegal dumping of tv's and monitors as it is the only problem right now is there isn't a huge market for e-waste yet its fairly new where as recycling metal has been around since 1850. Most people just dump there stuff in the trash or dumpster. I say in 10 years it will really be big big business on the same level as scrap metal is right now.



Wait till the day when someone really figures out a real gold mine and starts removing and processing old shut down garbage dumps and can figure out a way to do it correctly. Think of all plastics, metal, and ewaste in a huge garbage dump.
