Definitely not my first choice, now that I have learned. On the other hand, if there is a tv or monitor just sitting there, I'm gonna pick it up. I picked up a lot of about 18 towers and monitors from a telemarketing company. The towers were stripped and sold within 5 days. I still have 9 monitor carcasses sitting in my driveway! Good news is, big trash day for our town is next week, and another town 30 miles away is the next 4 weekends!
