Assuming that you don't feel like breaking the law or ripping off the taxpayers of neighboring towns, you could consider a nice day trip up to the south side Manchester NH (Mall of New Hampshire) on 27 July to drop off your CRTs at the Small Dog Electronics eWaste recycling event.<br>
<br>
The next date for the Manchester NH event isn't yet listed at <<a href="http://www.smalldog.com/green/our-mission-planet" target="_blank">http://www.smalldog.com/green/our-mission-planet</a>>, but 27 July 2013 was listed in one of their newsletters a while back.<br>
<br>
I drove up to the event last year and dropped off a a couple of CRTs and boxes and boxes of old electronics -- entertainment items, 100 MB SCSI disks, 3C509 Ethernet cards, some broken laptops... probably a couple of hundred pounds in total. No charge, no hassle, they unloaded the car in a couple of minutes without me doing anything but opening the tailgate.<br>
<br>
Disposing of your CRT by the normal mechanism in place in your town won't exactly break the bank either: in Medford a disposal sticker costs $25 for curbside pickup. In Arlington it's $10 if you carry the CRT into the disposal station, $20 each if you pick one of the scheduled curbside pickup days, $40 for a custom pickup time.<br>
<br>
Cambridge notes "producer take back" programs ($10 to walk it in at BestBuy), and the city picks up small units for free, larger for $25. Winchester wants $5 to $25, Lexington is free curbside with an appointment, Melrose wants $7 if you bring it in. A Google search on<br>
<Town Name> MA crt disposal<br>
seems to usually turn up the right information.<br>
