    I'm for responsible CRT recycling, but this is what usually happens with places that take CRTs:

    Stone Castle Recycling in trouble in all three locations



    Wyoming company shutters, leaving question marks and glass | Resource Recycling

    Tatooine Dumping Leaded Glass Into Local Landfills Illegally, Workers Say

    This is why I tend to be a bit sceptical.
    I get what you're saying but for NuLife to close up, their HQ in the UK would have to go up. I just don't see it happening. It feels to me that business or organizations that take on CRTs do so thinking there's profit in it and when they realize there isn't, they keep stockpiling until the lease is up or they go out of business or some other issue and they cut and run. I wouldn't emphasize so much about a company or organization unless I did the research and 110% believe in what their doing. It's one of the reasons why I could never be a telemarketer - I can't sell someone on a product I personally don't believe in. It's also one of the reasons why I enjoyed doing support for Roadrunner when they had a center in Sgt. Bluff, people had issues with their net and 98% of the time I could get them back online while sharing a story or two. Customers love a personal connection, something that's not robotic or formatted.

    I didn't see NuLife Glass(http://www.nulifeglass.com) mentioned anywhere but yes - it was explained to me that their process is similar to how the Corning House of Glass works.

    I figured you had already posted a link to them somewhere. All five companies have different ways of recycling them. It was an interesting session to listen to.

    I bet but no, I don't recall posting a link to their site. When I spoke to John from NuLife he told me the process and it was good enough for me.
