If I had a garbage service I'd toss the monitor in the bottom of the
wheelie bin and it would just disappear but, no garbage service
means a visit to the tip. I wonder how many monitors my big dam will
hold <g><br>

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?<font class="Apple-style-span"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144fae"><br>

<div>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..</div>
