what to do with CRT monitors?
My garage has been filled with ex-office CRT monitors. I could take them to the tip but it seems a waste as they all work. Any suggestions?

Mine went to the tip, as did my old ENOMOUS and HEAVY old tv
It still worked, but took up a 1/4 of my spare room!

what about places like CEX or the second hand pc shops around?
you may only get £5 per monitor but better than a kick in the teeth
Thanks

They'd be lucky to sell them for that much, i doubt theyd even take them off you for free!
Just check out ebay to see how many dont sell or do sell for pennies.

having just tried to dispose of 10+ CRT screens at work and being asked for £8 each to take them away we divvied them up and took them to a variety of
local household recycling centres for free. A word of caution though....if you turn up with a load of them the staff are likely to question you and
possibly turn you away (as happened to one of us).

The people that wanted them even came & taook them away - saved me a trip to the dump
