    part of the problem is scrappers coming and busting the tubes to get the copper out of them and then no one will take it. So it has to be put in the garbage.

    I agree I bought my TV in July of 1998 and the thing still works that's the difference between these cheap flat panel TVs over the old tube TVs the old ones last alot longer then the new tvs

    They are super easy to recycle, sandpaper is all you need to get rid of that lead on the glass! The medium finer the better!

    At leased if they are left on the street RETRO GAMERS can use them cuz retro games know that the old games they love look like absolute trash on modern tvs. There is also still mercury in modern tvs so...
