Guy answered one of my ads and wants me to pickup 100 CRTs. I don't charge for them now and our dump doesn't either in my area. Would you guys take them? I don't particularly like breaking them down honestly. Lots of work for a little bit of low grade board and yoke copper.
Id take em but youre in Montana and I'm in NY and I'm sure shipping would be a killer.
If you can get rid of them then figure time and effort for the pick up and charge for time and equipement use. You would be solving a problem for him and that has value. Mike
get a free weekend and get to work on them as long as you don't have to pay any disposal fees I would do it.

I'm in Wyoming, but I looked into doing business in Montana.
Here's what I know:
According to the MCA (Montana Code Anointed), E-Waste recycling facilities must register with the state. Most people can probably go "under the radar", but having CRTs will be like having a target on your back.
According to EPA guidelines, large quantities of CRTs puts a larger target on your back. I'm not too versed in the federal EPA laws, but I know enough that I don't want any part of it!
I don't know where you're at. Montana is a large state. I know the Billings area the best. In Billings, there are three places that take CRTs (That I know of- there may be more). Two charge a lot (One charges $0.50 per pound), and I have my doubts on the other one.
So, you're left with what could become hazardous waste easily, will have targets on your back, and will be out a lot of money if the local dump laws change.
That aside, I still don't put CRTs in the dump. It doesn't seem responsible by my standards.
Just my $0.02

Try breaking down the boards for max profit. Al and copper add up. Plus wire and ic'sQuote:

Doesn't matter to me, my contract with NuLife is for the tubes. If the boards are in there that'll be a bonus.
And don't forget the degaussing cable.Quote:
