Dismantling a Monitor

Still the question though, what to do with the CRT when your done with it.

Just snip it somewhere to break the "circle" and look at the fresh cut ends... it will be either copper(redish) color or aluminum(silver) color.

You are exactly right RCA. That is the best way to know whether it's copper or alum. I can tell by weight alone.

My city just opened a new transfer station and includes tv's and monitors in its recycling program.

Whenever I have a load of brush from yard cleanups on my truck I weigh it down with the scrapped tv's I have and get rid of it free.

I take mine to the county transfer station. They will take 5 at a time for no charge. I strip them and put the case back on over the CRT.
