What happens to old CRT monitors when the PC disposal man turns up in
his white van to take them away? *The company I work for has just got
rid of a huge quantity of monitors.


Surely they do get recycled somehow or is it landfill? *The tube has
all sorts of toxic nasties in it.


If they are anything like our disposal people they get crushed and the
glass gets recycled. *All the metal is recovered and recycled too.

"..they all get crushed.." and we all know how painful that can be.
