Recycling? What's that!? 
The only thing recycled in this stupid province is paper/cardboard and any beer, liquor, drinking container or 'stuff' juice comes in. And I live in Paradise, meh. I emailed the town council where to dump off used motor oil, as most garages bitch to much cause I'm not paying a shop fee, they had no idea... I feel like dumping it in their parking lot to smarten up the lazy bastards.
At least we finally have a local electronics recycler now.

A week ago I contacted an electronics recycler in Milwaukee about possibly being notified when CRT projectors came through so I could look them over and possibly pick them up and put them back into useful service. No reply in over a week. Their website preaches GREEN all over the place but as soon as somebody tries to practice it I think all they see is lost $$. Jerks.

Do they get a lot of CRT projectors in though? It's not like they're a dime a dozen. I only know of 4 around here and that's shared between me and my father.
We're good at tossing things in the dump around here. I saved up 40 milk cartons in hope after 2 years someone would take them... nope. I'm growing corn in them right now until transplanted then they'll be trashed, sigh. I compost most every thing I can and my weekly trash is often less than a grocery bag.
Sadly it's all about profit. I hate tossing anything out as it can and should be made back into something else. Perhaps in a 100 years.

I thought I was smart, but had to look at the pic like 5 times until I stopped wondering "where's the CRT?".
