"Each one can include up to eight pounds of lead."

That sure is a lot of lead.

thanks for the link. I generally do maybe 6 a month, then take them to a "legitimate" recycling program...but it seems that the CRT tubes we feed into the various recycling programs may not actually be recycled...and there is no solution on the horizon.

I think I just picked up my last monitor!?!

so the hanford nucular site has had problems since it was opened. if we haulled all the glass there it would contain the radiation.
or we could use it in west VA as coal mine back fill. it's not likely that they would notice a increse in birth defects...
