Where I scrap is a small yard where anyone can dump off anything metal. ish......
The owner gets first pick of what get dropped off and takes the rest in a as shred.
Unfortunally some people dump off rubbish and stuf that "well its got metal IN it......"
(A couch or mattress, while it does have metal in it, isn't actually Metal!!)
And CRT's,...... Heaps of CRT's.
I do scrap the Copper out of them, since they are there anyway, because I'm there often there's less people actually dumping them when I'm present.
But since I don't have any legal authority, I simply can't actually stop them, I just act as a deterrant.
We went to digital tv a while ago and the CRT's won't work unless you get a digital box for it.
Anyway, its really funny when someone drops one off, wistfully looking at it with the great memorys it still holds of watching tele with the family and epic sports moments all tied up inside it.
With the fact that it probably cost $2000 and it still works just as good as it did @ day 1.
Then they turn around and get the remote and gently place it on top of the TV.......
