The logistics alone will be a job in and of itself. You are looking at around 21,000 to 25,000 lbs in weight alone. I would not suggest taking this on without doing a lot of in depth homework. I have around 4000 monitors now stored in 4 semi trailers. You can put around 1250 monitors in a trailer if you put them on a pallet. If you are not in a position to handle massive volume just in weight and size then you may want to think this one over. Then there is fuel also. From my place it would be a couple hundred bucks in fuel also. I am going to give this some thought to see if I can figure a way to help these folks out, but I am certainly not making any promises. I take CRT monitors myself as part of the services I offer, but I am in a position to deal with them until I am ready to deal with them. Life has dealt these folk a bum deal or I would not even consider it. My stepping in to help would not be based on sound business practice. The DNR (Department of Natural Resources) in Iowa has regulations even on the storage of these kinds of assets. Do not plan on planting these in your back yard or in the basement of your dorm at college.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you in Burlington. I will see if I can help you. How pressed are you for time? I have 50,000 lbs of telecom equipment coming in this week and 2 more loads of the same stuff next week, so I am VERY busy right now.
