How to Dispose of CRTs Monitors???
So .. just replaced 2 17'' CRTs with 2 24'' LCDs... some years ago I gave away some CRT monitors to a friend who wanted them (15 inch crts ... in 2002 I guess) .... but now I dunno what to do with these 2 50+ pound behemoths....
I know I can't just throw them in the trash because of environmental yada yada... so do I just put them next to the dumpster and WM takes care of them? or do I have to take em to some recycling facility? I see I was charged a "recycling fee" on the 2 new lcds I got so I am thinking WM can take care of em? right? Since this is GFY.... lemme say.. NO!! I won't put them up my ass... I know thats an acceptable recycling method for some ppl here... so just had to eliminate "that" as an option....

Do a search on your city website. It varies from place to place.

Put them in the back of the pickup. Put the tail gate down. Drive down a gravel road. Stop, put the truck in reverse and floor it. Hit the brakes. Drive away.

Some great ways to destroy CRTs fo sho! lol.... I think I found the city website with info about it
http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Electronics/WhatisEwaste/ ... I also checked the WM site which is the company that takes care of the trash but they only refer to "e-waste in san diego" ... I'll give em a call on monday and ask em about it.... If nothing else works then:

Put them out with the regular trash.
In most places that's still legal / tolerated. Teh ghey is spot on about CraigsList - post them for free with a title such as "Curb Alert! 2 Free Working CRT Monitors" or something like that a day or so before the next trash pickup. If they're gone, great .. if not, no biggie just move them to over to / into the dumpster. The environmental stuff is way exaggerated. And anyways, if the government is so damn concerned, why do they nickle and dime people to dispose of stuff; government is supposed to serve the people ... opps, I forgot, only the super-rich, but I digress. Anyways, do craigslist and then trash. Ron

look under recycling in the phone book, in most cities there will be private recyclers that want them and most will pay you for it..$5-10 a monitor around here.
they take all kinds of electronics, they remove gold, platinum, etc from the circuit boards and cpu's, A local youth sports team raised a little over $1,100 in about 3 weeks doing this  |

call your recycling center (# in paper they send with trash pickup schedule) they will tell you when to put it out or bring it yourself to the nearest one - thats how its done in NJ at least.
