CRT buyer? Real or hoax?

Today I got this email:

I ran across your ad for computer equipment. I noticed the area for CRT Monitors. I work with a company called Green Works Inc. they are accepting CRT Monitors not TV. If you have any loads they will except for free. They purchase them based on your volume. 200 pieces or more. There information is below.

Buying CRTs? In large loads? Sounds too good to be true. But if it's SPAM, I don't understand what the catch is. When I posted stuff on CL before, I got automatic spam responses that were designed to collect email addresses. But those were clearly automatically generated. This email seems to be hand crafted. Too much work to collect one email address.

I googled the phone number and name and got some hits like this one: Styrofoam America Inc. | 2601 Waterview Ave, Baltimore, MD 21230

Responded to the email asking for details, still awaiting response.

If it's a hoax, not a biggie: I don't have CRTs to sell and was not planning to start collecting them. But if does end up being legit, I thought that some of you might find the info useful.

Sounds legit to me, but I would tread very carefully. Find the absolute minimum they are willing to take and see what happens. Very interesting though.

Green Works Inc - Plastic Recycling - www.recyclingplasticwaste.com

apparently the name and company go together

What I found interesting was the links at the top of the website; " U.S. Plastic Recyclers Canadian Plastic Recyclers"
There is a listing for each state with names of plastic recyclers. Well worth saving the site.
There's more in my state than I ever knew,,

You posted that they will accept them for free, but will purchase them in large quantity.

That doesn't seem unreasonable if this company has a pipeline to dispose of the CRT monitors, we all know they do have scrap value. If they are worth 5.00 a peice in scrap that's 1k for 200. I'd give you 100.00 for 1K in material if you can get rid of the bi products.

It looks like this website is a feeder website to recycle.net. They want you to sign up for a membership to get contact information.

So its a bust ? That's a Shame around here dam near get paid to take them, knew it was too good to be true

I'm not saying that...it was just that their list of plastic recyclers leads to recycle.net for membership.

All you have to do is copy the info from there and paste it in google and it'll bring up their contact info/website/yellow pages, etc.
Let google/bing be your friend.

Spell accept not except.

Thanks Matt for posting that link. 3 pages of plastic recyclers in my state and some are not far from me, I think I'll try looking into some and see if I can sell some ABS. Better than giving it away.
