My 19" CRT has finally given up the ghost almost exactly on its 6th birthday and I am replacing with a nice shiny LCD.
How do I get rid of the old CRT in the greenest possible way?
I don't really want it to go into landfill, presumably there is a fair amount of lead and rare earth metals in it. My local kerbside collecting recyclers won't take it. What do I do?

My local tip will take it but not much recycling goes on there. If its anything out of the ordinary it goes in the landfill. The guys who work there have a hard enough job smoking their **** and loitering about asking dumb questions to actually do anything useful. I will only take it there as a last resort.
