Every time I've taken my Garden rubbish to the council dump over the last
3 years there have been large piles of CRT's with Lorries seemingly taking
them away on a daily basis, they don't allow cars into the dumping area
when the lorries are manouvering.

Over this summer there appears to have been achange with LCD/Plasmas
replacing the CRT's, mainly 32inch and smaller.

There's Heart foundation stores like that in Kent as well.

Don't forget Cash Converters and the tip.
The local one by me is full of the things - none of the charity shops will
take anything electrical.

Yes, it's refreshing to have one that specialises in brown and white goods.
There are a couple of local domestic appliance con-merchants who I will
be glad to see go out of business.

When you say where did they go, do you mean now ones or old ones? I suspect
they are not made very much these days. The problem was not so much the
size, but the weight of course. I predict in years ahead Videophile versions
of TVs will be made with real crts at huge cost for the purist.

In the meantime the ones in homes are mainly still in use I think,
particularly the smaller ones which are in bedrooms etc.
Computer monitors however you cannot even give away to anyone or anywhere
and are stacking up in the recycling areas of dumps nationwide.
This will, I imagine happen to all the tvs as well eventually.
Itts a shame as there is nothing really wrong with them functionally.

Some charity shops will, it depends if they have a suitably resourced tame
tester they can use of course.

BHF has a similarly stacked shop in Southend (not the old Woolworths
though, but along the same road going towards the sea front) containing
that town's chuck outs.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Graham." saying
something like:

They should get a grip; those are outlandish prices for sets that
usually can't be given away.

The shop in High Wycombe charges £20 for the little 'uns, and £35 or £40
for the big 'uns (widescreens a bit more). However, for the few Freeview
STBs (to me, unknown brands), they want £20, which is definitely OTT for
an old DTT box.

Around here we get three or four CRT TVs up for grabs on free(gle|cycle)
most weeks. Though I have to say the amount of traffic on the F/C
mailing list has dropped by about half in the past year. So I don't
know if the bloom is off that particular rose or if people are finding
ways to convert old junk into cash, rather than giving it away.

I bought a fridge from one such in Bristol. When it didn't work they
told me to turn it upside down . . .

. . .the BHF shop locally won't touch electricals, I thought this was
a legal/H&S issue?
