Maybe where you live, but not so any longer in California and a handful
of other states, and soon to be the norm in ALL states (so dump everything
you can forsee not wanting in the next couple of years now to avoid the
charges).
CRTs are deemed to be toxic waste in California, along with a host of
other consumer electronics.
And I really don't want to hear some weenie sneering about California's
hippyish environmental policies. This is coming to your state EPA soon.
