Mick,
I agree that there are revised regulations making it easier to recycle these, however there are still regulations in place.
There are storage limitations that apply to unbroken CRTS for collectors and recyclers.
There are strict storage and transportation requirements for broken CRTs.
There are storage limitations on the amount of time you are allowed to keep broken CRTs before recycling them.
The exclusions from the federal hazardous waste management standards apply only to CRTs and CRT glass destined for recycling.
Picker's TV question was, is it worth it to destroy TVs and take out the copper and steel.
That being said, unless he is planning to bring the CRT to a proper recycling facility less than a year after he obtains them, stores them and transports them appropriately, then they are still regulated as hazardous waste.
In my opinion, the waste generated form the TVs shown on these YouTube videos is hazardous waste unless these people are storing and transporting it to a proper recycling facility within a year. This will most likely cost Picker far more than the few dollars he could expect to get from the TVs.
