How much is the lead in cathode ray tubes worth if someone found a way of getting it out?

For that you would simply multiply your weight in lead by the going rate for a lb. of said lead at your local yard .....

I have never researched all that would be involved . I'm not a big fan of sharp glass , but I would imagine doing that safely and legally would cost a lot more than the lead recovered. I may have read somewhere that the recovery rate would be about 8% of said tubes weight . Don't hold me to that for some reason I believe it's less than that . The only lead I own is in my tackle box.
