    What about the plastic casing?

    Hey All! I've done a few TV/Monitors (CRT) stripping them down, then took the CRT and shell to BestBuy. Not a problem at the time.
    But for those who do this, what do you do with the plastics? I don't even know what kind of plastic it is.



    Oh, and I hate that the lead concern basically shuts off any options due to regulations. I understand, but can't believe there's nothing in the U.S.

    what plastic are you talking about? IF you are smashing the yokes then you would have a small amount (that is ABS plastic and certainly is recyclable). I generally have no plastic when I strip one. The shell gets reattached and goes to Best Buy that way. Most of the time I sell yokes as whole (especially with today's copper pricing). the rest would consist of a couple of brown boards which I sell whole, possibly a green board or 2 and wire. that is basically it.

    Not sure what other plastic you might have, so please let me know. Basically it is most likely ABS.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell
