In my opinion, there no way in ### anyone can make positive cash flow from CRTs ... the cost of legally disposing of the glass is more than the scrap value of the metals !

As most of this statement I agree with you can make some money if you gather say a truckload charge the people to take the TV's then ship them to a approved recycler here in the US for a smaller charge then you are collecting and make some money. Granted you have to take into account storage space and other costs but it could give you a positive cash flow But that is my opinion

that is true. if your just a small time guy you could also hunt out yards that take them at a charge and charge people that want them gone. rag and bone in Easton charges $30 I believe to drop them off. I could pick them up for around $50 each if I didn't break everyone that would ever enter the vicinity of my truck. It gets way too messy back there for me to mess with them though. I would need a dedicated Tv hauler to keep them in tact.
