Our local Technical College just replaced all its CRTs with TFTs. They 
then had to scrap all their 15" and 17" CRTs - all perfectly usable. The 
local YMCA  charity shop would not take them and the council recycling 
centre directed them to the Waste Electrical Goods Act approved 
recycling centre They wanted to charge them £7.50 a monitor to dispose 
of them. Since they had over 30 monitors this was a little expensive. 
The Council also does not allow the school to sell these on to anyone in 
case they get sued for faulty electric goods. We supplied the new TFTs 
so I got to hear of this and now a few of my friends have better 
monitors than they used to have.

What a stupid way to go about things and another short sighted piece of 
EU nonsense.

Oh and Darren, more and more manufacturers of CRT monitors are 
announcing they will stop making them. Seems they will soon die out 
completely.
