Amazing, in this modern and changing society.

Things used to be valuable, now can't give em
away. I had a CRT computer monitor from the
church. Fairly recent, works fine. They went with
flat panel, and gave me the old one. I've got too
many monitors, so I put it on the curb.

Couple days later, it's still there. I look, and
someone cut off the wire, but left the rest.

Five years ago, the church probably paid $300
for that monitor. Now, I can't give it away free.

What is this world coming to?

Best Buy will take them off your hands. CRT monitors or TV's are white
elephants today and you cannot give them away and some charities will
not even take them.

Make that MOST charities. We have e-waste recycling depots up here
in Ontario now. Used to have to pay to get rid of them - now you pay
the disposal fee upfront when you buy it.

Hi,
Yup, 10.00 to drop off old CRT TV set at recycle depot.
Here in Alberta.
