Ok, last thing and I will shut up for awhile on this .... quick google search brought up a company called Kuusakoski ... scary thing about what they do (to me, anyway) is treat the CRT material in a manner that stabilizes lead to virtually prevent leaching .... the resulting product is then approved to be used as a daily cover for municipal landfills. Wow ... don't like the sound of that. At least on the surface, I didn't dig super deep into a discussion of the technology.
Also caught a blurb about Sims Recycling that indicated they are pursuing opportunities more in line with what the British company is doing.
This (CRT disposal) is a massive problem that will have to be addressed and that should create some opportunities for scrappers. That is, as long as governments on whatever level don't step in to "fix" it .....
