are there salvagable parts in a Sharp LCD tv
The neighbor has a Sharp LCD tv, small screen size but rather thick profile, with a cracked screen.
The glass in front isn't cracked but if you turn it on there's a nice pattern of cracks radiating out from what looks like a small impact site. We're trying to figure out how to dispose of it without paying the recycling fee. It's $25 per unit for electronics here. Would there be any components in it worth salvaging? I dunno, power supply, memory, something like that? |

The best way to get rid of it is to put it in your car with a price tag on it (like you just bought it) and park at the mall with your windows down. Go get an ice cream in the mall and the problem will correct itself. |

Not that there are too many Sears remaining. You might investigate that option. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

I'm hoping for an amnesty day locally, even if I have to drive a bit. The local landfill operator has a consent degree that may force them to do this. |

I suffer from heightened sensitivity on this matter. Our summer house is in an enclave surrounded by a larger 13 acre plot and on a private lane. The main road nearby passes a gully on the larger plot - two years ago, the owner of the plot took out 60 yards of crap - mostly large appliances and electronics, not the expected tires and demolition debris. She spent several thousand dollars from her very limited fixed income based on the laziness of others.
Yes, we all pinched in - but she was still massively out-of-pocket. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

There are certainly things in it you can make stuff from. NT |

We can forget that, occasionally. Now, I realize that you're trying to be a modest good samaritan, however at some point shouldn't you tell the neighbor that this is a trash transportation and disposal issue. Is their's to deal with. Not your's. |

Perhaps selling a couple of the boards would get you nearly enough to pay for the disposal fee for the rest of it. |

Seemed to have hit a nerve. Which is entirely surprising as I really thought OldSchool was less sensitive than a box of rocks - only without the utility.
For the record, we have been to China - it is a fascinating country, the little we saw of it, but it is incredibly polluted. Much as the US was during the height of the coal-burning era, and when the rivers ran orange and actually caught on fire. I guess that would be the Old School of environmental management!

The most striking part of China, is that while we allow bridges full of traffic to fall into rivers, they are plowing tons of money into their infrastructure. Something similar happened after WW-II - the US infrastructure from rails to factories was almost entirely worm out due to heavy use. On the other hand, European and Japanese infrastructure was crushed. They built new from everything they had learned from the US (Deming), modern production methods and more. They revised their entire rail system ... and subsequently cleaned our collective and several clocks for efficiency. They did not have the materials and wealth to replace their transportation systems with automobiles, so they maintained their passenger and light-rail systems. On the other hand, we built the Interstate and Defense Highway system from the 50s to the 80s, where it became the envy of the world. Now, a highway is designed to last about 25 years without much maintenance. A highway bridge somewhere to about 50 years, with the upper limits around 75 years. Guys and gals - we are there - and beyond. Interstate and federal highways are paid for by the gasoline tax. Which has remained at $0.184/gallon since 1993. It should be $0.317/gallon by inflation Writing for myself, I would gladly pay that amount if I could be assure of safe bridges and highways, and better public transportation options - and that it would not be diverted for other purposes.

We've gone a little off topic, but in Germany we paid $9 a gallon for gas - and there wasn't a pothole from one end of the Autobahn to the other.

SSI was solvent as originally devised, but once it was determined that SSI was flush with funds, it got redirected. Now it's part of the entitlement vote buying handout system. People who have never contributed to SSI can collect. Here in CT, the casino money was supposed to be earmarked to just education.. With CT's finances a full fledged dumpster fire all money goes into the general fund. |
