    Ewaste tips Lets start a conversation about what to do with analog tvs

    Lets hammer this out. The lead funnel glass and screen etc. Not enough lead for batt smelters to care, to many other bad things to just keep forgetting about.

    I see in the news millions of dollars left in a warehouse after the owners sold all the gold. Please we all know the low grade boards and wood case isnt worth crap.

    tell the story right. They charged a fortune to recycle properly and just lied. Sin its problem.

    What can be done. I see them everywhere the tvs. In woods at yards in scrap yards in rivers.

    If I charge a customer to take I am paying to hope a guy will not export or just trash. You know. I dislike the whole deal with these and they are everywhere.

    THe old tvs use to be recycled properly in the states because guess what we still made and sold this type of tv in our country.

    I dont know how to turn around Americas import everything cheap and limited life span problem and iM broke so I depend on cheap junk that I know will fail soon....

    The glass can be using in concrete for many applications. Google hard concrete. Totally viable many universities have done studies and it makes sense. I see wheel weights all over the road. Like millions of pounds each year on our streets and thats 100 percent lead. The tvs are like 3 percent right so mixing the glass in highway concrete barriers is smart. Plus your car is leaking lead and coolant and oil everywhere on to tar (carcinogen)anyways. Right. I dont know if asphalt is bad for me? SOmeone can answer that right.



    Check out the Basel action network. Its eye opening. I need to feed my family and so do they and many of us dont know how bad this stuff is and were going to die anyways.

    I recycle lead acid batteries. I need to work and do it safe but I know not working is a faster way to die by not eating than being worried about a battery falling and killing me. lol. No it not funny lead has a very interesting wiki page if your ever bored. Or the civilan nuclear accident page.

    Whats not funny about the civilan nuclear page is how often scrap or scrapper is mentioned. Like almost always. Really scary.

    But what do we do with the tvs.

    Lets get this fourm like really feeding us. I want to feed my kids. You have the answers I need to my problems and maybe I have some ideas to help you. This country was founded on men and women trusting each other and handshaking a deal that helps everyone out!!

    Now we are taught dog eat dog your screwed anyways break the rules to make money because everyone is !!

    I say no lets trust each other and help eachother. Greed and sin get no where. I trust the lord and want to find ways to help others and for this Ill be blessed.

    Lets fix this tv idea and make cash.

    If you know somone who does concrete like a shot caller ask him. Google it lead tv screens in hard concrete.
