    Just got off the phone with the DEP in WV. Its not illegal to take apart old TV's here. Plus the recyling center isnt supposed to charge for taking them. So thats always good news.

    So did you give the the name of the place that told you they were illegal to take apart and wanted to charge you for dropping them off?
