@ryman1075 well said dont brake them they just create alot more mess ..granted a nice thud when they go tho minus the implosion band lol :) most people who dump them out the front of their house for clean up dont mind if you neatly pull it to bits and take what you want instead of scattering glass and broken plastic over their lawn
-
you dont need to smash the tube to get the copper yoke off the back of it ... they have clamps that hold them on
-
@Yogamartial sell them as insulated wire scrap. They are still worth saving.
-
When you are taking the yoke out of the TV don't break the glass. Just loosen a few screws and give it a twist, they slide right off. I say this because an unbroken CRT is universal waste, if it breaks it is then considered hazzardous waste. Try not to break the class. Just take the extra few seconds to slip it off.

@LostTreasureComAU You should try to see if there are any plastics recyclers around. Here in the US, recyclers will pay a few cents per pound. It adds up fast due to the large amounts of plastics in electronics.
Keep up the good work on the videos.

who ever breaks out a t.v for scrap is a wortless crap

.99 a pound for aluminium

Reycling is good for our depleted earth. Its amazing how fast little bits of copper add up. I just cashed in $90 worth just wire and pipe ive gathered here and there. Not much but it pays a bill and buys lunch.
