    It might be worth it to check with Goodwill or other national thrift stores. Other places like Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy, and the like might also take them for free or cheap. I would be careful about overcharging for CRT pickups because it can give someone a chance to snatch your business away from you. But that's just my opinion.

    Good luck to you!

    My local land fill will charge by the load, but they have a recycling department and will take 2 off my hands, free, per week. My wife can also take in 2 per week, so I can unload 16 or more per month with little problem. This doesn't really work for those of you with huge numbers, but it works for me and my numbers. The guy in charge asked me straight up what I did with all of the tv's and I told him, I opened them up and pulled out the copper. Figured I wouldn't gain anything in the long run by being deceptive. He was intrigued but had no problem with me dropping them off.

    I suggest you call your city or county land fill and ask if they have a recycling department and if electronics are free to drop off. Usually they just want the back still on it to protect the tube.

    Thanks for all the help. I will be posting pic's tomorrow of all the tv's and monitors I have access to. It is huge. I got started today with 28 computer towers, a couple microwave, 42 inch Samsung flatscreen and 6 printers. Plus a few other things. I'll post pictures of these as well. IS their good money in the big office printers? Also, saw and old floppy computer with the monitor built into it. Gonna grab it tomorrow. Could sale as vintage. One of the towers I got today was a working IMB 5160. Gonna put it on ebay tomorrow. Still holding off the monitors till I have room to store the tubes. Does anyone know if the old case carried mobile phone are worth anything?Thanks for all the help guys
