In my opinion the epa is struggling for funds like every other government agency. Do some more research. Crt's stored create no environmental problems. Its all hype.
    I'd have to disagree - I find CRTs to be clearer then any lcd tv, and it seems everyone's missing the point. My solution takes care of CRTs. If NuLife had their business set up like Ben Weitsman then everyone would be taking their CRTs there, but they don't - they have tubes trucked in and their smelted down. They have more control over the process this way. They also have all the paperwork they need to operate in the state of NY and satisfy the EPA. Now, on my end all I technically need is EPA registration but I handle more then just CRTS - I handle fridges, stoves, a/c's, etc.. so HVAC equipment is needed. To handle everything more effeciently I need a building which requires a building permit. I need a fence to keep nosey neighbors away and need a building permit for that also. My point is, I see the positives while it seems everyone's seeing the negatives. If I don't achieve help from here that's fine, as I said before: I'll get the permits and necessary equipment I need in time.

    Oh I agree, the picture on CRTs is great. But, we never considered the waste issue. I say store them until we figure out how to properly recycle them. U really think that any company, in this country, that is recycling crt's is not being funded by our tax $$

    True, I suppose if we did foresee this issue they possibly would have sped up production on LCDs, and no, I don't - it was explained to me that NuLife is funded by sale of lead and glass. Lead goes to battery mfgrs and glass goes to blowers(I explained this in a post once). I don't share the government paranoia you seem to have. You know what a few hundred tons of lead and glass are going for? Lots. I foresee my profit in either selling to the buyers on here or ebay, but have next to nothing worth turning in so no profit for the moment(though testing the waters on ebay currently).

    They had LCDs in the 80s, they weren't profitable to make, plus everyone was set up for crt. Kinda like the electric car, sure it's better long term, but the jobs, income, and taxes that would be lost by not using gas would be disastrous.

    Paranoia, no.its experience. But I get your concerns. I have them also. We can dig a hole and dispose of nuclear waste! But oh no ,don't store crt's more than a year. Maybe one day I'll read about how a man from NY solved the CRT problem. But to me ,I would never work in a plant that processes crt's now.People are more important than plants.

    I'm glad you have your priorities where they are - I wouldn't work in a plant either. It is my long-term eventual goal to help central NY clean up their ewaste problems. Right now my goal is to get up and running lol.

    Your a good man Matt, and I've enjoyed our banter. God help us all. We've created this problem it's up to us to figure it out. Frankly, I don't know what the answer is. But I do know I have the ability to store at least a million until science catches up. The epa is no longer our friends. They are a bureaucracy dedicated to self preservation.

    As have I, seems every agency's out for itself nowadays. Hell, most Americans are looking out for themselves and giving everyone else the bird. I don't blame them though, we've dug ourselves into a hole we can't get out of.
