Well I'm new here and have been reading for a long time... Here in toronto, canada I get 10 cents a pound for tv's, computer moniters and any electronics. I also get 8 bucks for a whole computer. Just thought I would chime in. I guess I'm really lucky here. Tv's are a big part of my income I average 4-500 pounds a night.
I think I know the answer, but where do you find 500 lbs of TVs every night?Quote:

I wish there was a place in denver that paid for TV's. We have to pay for the yards to take the dang things.
Break them down for the copper, aluminum, and wire, and the dispose of the glass. Thanks to computerscrapper's information, this will be easy now.Quote:

I plan to purchase a wire stripper (maybe not the exact one you posted a link to (thanks for that), but one regardless), but do also plan to to build one that was shown in that youtube video for when I have a lot of it, to save a little time.Quote:

I do thank you for the concern though. Much appreciated!
He made some post a while back about the process, I'm not going to go looking for it but you may want too. Not sure why that wire stripper comes up automatically when someone types those words, but I was talking about the simple one on youtube as well.
Yeah, that is what he has been talking to me about as well...the process.Quote:
