Are there buyers for ??

Hey Harold, thanks for the heads up on Goodwill. I meant to thank you months ago but got wound up and the thread disappeared into the archives. I now deal exclusively with my local Goodwill on all monitors, TVs and laptops. Knowing that the drop spots make a small amount off everything they collect it's nice to see a charity getting the $$ rather than another big box store conglomerate.

Hey Harold, thanks for the heads up on Goodwill.

Welcome! Glad to hear they honor the collection on the other side of the mountain. I was thinking it might be just a local thing.

I'm not sure about other states, but my local GoodWill has a deal with Dell. I found this out after talking to a GoodWill manager, she wouldn't sell me broken electronics.

If you have tons of scrap waste, maybe you could contact Dell.

Check these guys out. They recycle CRT and auto glass. I dont know if they pay or charge to drop off the glass but if you have a lot laying around it might be worth looking into.

They do charge, their charge is .10/lb on whole monitors with chords and .14 for straight glass.

According to answers.com, the average weight of a 32 inch tv is around 150-200 pounds. So lets say 175. At 14 cents a pound thats $24.5 disposal fee. That seems kind of high considering there isnt $24.5 worth of Cu or aluminum scrap.
