I started scrapping last year with mild success. Now I need to find someone to take all this CRT funnel glass from all the monitors and tvs I stripped. Wish me luck! Yes, I spelled plagued wrong, typo.

Make sure to store them inside. The last thing that you want is the DEQ after you.
You should have had all your connections (tubes/plastic) lined up before tearing them down, Now is going to be tougher to find.Quote:

In Ashland county, OHIO there is no place on the web accepting CRT's. The place in neighboring Wayne County is out of business tho' their website is still up. Grrr. I went to neighboring Richland County that accepts CRT's...so they say. First they wouldn't take 'em because I'm from Ashland county, not Richland, but the lady in the office could tell me where to go. She said we take stuff from Ashlanders all the time. Then she found out all I had was the funnel glass with framing and said they don't take those. She showed me a place in Sandusky that takes them, about 60 miles away. I emailed them to ask if they do pickups. Still awaiting response. Meanwhile I carefully emptied out the car, busted them up, and put the pieces in contractor bags inside boxes for easier storage and shipping if that day ever arrives. I joke posted on the essential tools thread that a long handled shovel for burying CRT is needed because I, a property owner, am real big on imminent domain, but really I am not about to put this stuff where I grow my food.
I don't follow. plastic is not the problem. CRT funnel glass is.Quote:

My success story goes like this...There are plenty of other thing to harvest copper from so I don't even hesitate to just say "No", when asked if I take TV's or Monitors.Quote:

I wish you luck and hope that you find someone to take it all off your hands for little to no cost.
Ok so now I'm NuLogan lol(mentally changes name from Logansryche to NuLogan):D
Whatever you choose in processing the tubes, if you send em or drive em to me, I charge.
