I'm not familiar with the term shred. For the escrap I picked up I found a recycling outfit called guzu that said they will take old tube tv's and other less desirable items and pay me 8 cents a pound. I've considered this since I've read on average breaking down a TV set takes a bit of time and doesn't bring in much more than the 8 cents a pound. I'll definitely give breaking them down a shot to see if I can learn something but for now I think my time would be better spent trying to network.
