Honestly, proprietary secret thing. Contacts that i've worked HARD for literally a few years to get. Wouldnt be fair to myself to just blabber about it. Hope i don't offend you PTS. Not meaning any disrespect.

None taken just curious was all. I would love to ramp up my tv scrapping here in denver is all. But would like a buyer for my stuff not just a donation center.

You get on the defensive easily, I can see. You obviously haven't read my several posts regarding the abundant amount of FREE tv ads on craigslist.org in my area. Which is why I have been looking or finding a place that will take them for free, or very little cost to me.

You can think what you want, but your reading to much into the post, when it wasn't even meant that way.

Good day.

I can understand that not every area, is going to be like mine. Especially small areas, or what not. I was just saying...for all I know, he could have some major corporation that deals with TV's or something.

i imagine a goodwill or other donation center comes up with way too many crt's to deal with by themselves. if you're trying to scrap crt's, contact your regional donation centers and offer to remove them for free.

i dont, because i have to pay to dump the glass.

Thanks for the info, Hoss. This is great information. URT is Universal Recyclers and does glass-to-glass recycling. They have a facility about 2 hours from me. If the company you take them to takes them for free, that means that URT is paying them for the tubes. All other places I've found charge for it and are half way across the country. Honestly, I'd be satisfied just finding a place that would take the tubes off my hands and cover shipping...

That gives me a idea. Thanks for the heads up on urt. Im gonna have to contact them and see about the glass. Be nice if they take them or even buy them...hmmm. I found a location only 50 miles away.

Hoss, this thread has been on mind all week. 800 t.v.'s!! wow! Man that's great. I got 50 or so. Just mess with em on those rainy days ya know. Anyway, I don't know how to inspire you none. Cept just think of the money! So here's my deal. If you get no motivation I reckon I'd be willing to trade ya a whole roll of copenhagen and a whole bottle of jack for them t.v.'s!

if they are vintage hand em over to me if they work, no 90s tvs, just 80s and pre 80s tvs

Free tv's in St. Petersburg,Fl about 2 tractor trailer loads, must come and pick up. Take 1 or all PM me for more info.

I beleive you....Once people find out you do tvs you can get as many as you want......I was just offered 2000 tvs and monitors and had to turn them down.......I probably have over 200 right now and am burnt out on them.....I dismantle all the monitors myself and my dad occasionally helps me haul away the glass and plastic (The local dump recycles them) Anyways I know your dillema and I respect you for what you do............I told the guy offering me 2000 tv's that I would have to completely change my biz model and rent a huge warehouse get permits etc to dismantle the material.....Now if he said 2000 computers I would have gladly paid him by the lb for them...........Keep on truckin and just do what you can (My dad always tells me the tvs will still be there tommorow)

Do not scrap the pre 90s ones as they are very valuable to collectors, they go for $175+ to the right person

Ok here is what you do. Set a goal for the and cheat by starting the day before. You will feel like you are ahead of schedule. Do this reguarly and repeat each day.

If you still have them a company in California will buy them even come pick them up as long as you have a semi load which I think you do! lol .03 cents a lb .....................Free electronic waste recycling

If I'm not mistaken Hoss got sick and had to close down his operation. I think right now he's taking a time-out.

Oh crap.

I know a while back, i was stoked about it. But fact is, im burnt.

I guess i just need some inspiration from yall. Have had a lot of family health issues going on lately, and i've just lost my drive.

I know how hard i need to work this next week, but i just cant seem to get up the motivation. I guess a little scrap family pep talk is what i'm askin' for tonight.

Reckon it's time for some copenhagen and a glass of jack.

That say @TheHoss it's time for fun.

its not a pile of 800 tv's its a pile of cash get out there and get it!
