    when you strip them for copper, they are counted as disassembled. According to EPA/DEQ laws, disassembled CRTs counts them as hazardous waste, while complete CRTs are counted as solid waste. The problem is that disposing of the remains (The leaded glass tube) becomes a legal and environmental nightmare in some cases....
