I recently took two dead CRT monitors to the tip (I don't have a garbage service) and was informed there is a (NSW) government enforced $5.00 fee per monitor to leave them at the tip. How's that for a hidden tax? I wonder how many dead monitors will now be given swimming lessons?

Wow, that's not bad - ACT govt charges $50/monitor to dump them at the tip.. - when we replaced our 21" sony CRT's with 19" LCD's back in 2005 (worked out we'd pay back the costs of replacing 3x21" 500W crt's with 3x19" 50W LCD's per Desk, in just under 6 months!), we ended up shoving them all into the dumpster out the back over a couple of weeks..
