[NPMUG] Sims Recycling Solutions in Roseville, California ... looks like Goodwill to me ... only better ....

[Marty Swartz]

A very interesting operation, to be sure. I wish we could find some similar
photos regarding the recycling of our deprecated friend, the CRT.  The TUBE
part specifically, since we know it's full of nasty old lead. Wikipedia
tells me that the melting point of
glass<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass>is 1600 degrees F, and lead
is only 621 degrees F <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead>.  The article
points out that the world's industrial production of lead in 2008 was 8.7
million tons, half of which was from recycling.  We're heading in the right
direction!
