Have had good luck accumulating a some vintage console and big screen behemoth TV's to scrap and have them cleaned out. My delimma is what to do with these giant TV tubes. I swear they weigh 200 lbs each. I hate the thought of taking them to the landfill, as I try to promote myself as being a "recycler", but I need the space these things are taking up. I don't know of anybody in my area that takes these things. Any suggestions??
Ask your local Goodwill if they will take them.
there is a recycler in NJ that buys the glass for its lead content (I'm told).
That is all I know.
This is why I stay away from tv's and computer monitors unless I know some that will buy them from me (whole) one guy I give tv's to gives me the boards out of them. I'll sell them for 1 or 2 dollars ea. depending on wheather I deliver or they pick up.
If you know of a buyer
hell I would like to know.
Ozzy I don't know were you live but Dunemaul and scrapyaherd both pay 2.00 ea. but you have to deliver to them and they like in Orlando,florida. If you have tv's that you would rather sell than scrap I would see if I could find a scraper in your area that would buy them. Or find a scraper and make a deal like "I will give you tv's for cheap if you give me the circuit boards". A lot of scrapers only take tv's for the copper.
yup down to my last 20 tvs. need to find some more here soon. was funny seeing 30 tubes at my place next day getting crushed.
Hey dune, how did things go this weekend, I tried to get some tv's for mongo but the guy was to busy, have to wait till this week.
