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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass">melting point of glass</a> is 1600 degrees F, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead">lead is only 621 degrees F</a>. 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!<br>

Please take a quick look at all the recycling work being done and see how it is very similar to what Dennis Abbott has built at Goodwill. The Sims Recycling Solutions has several sites .... <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgets/miscellaneous/news/2009/03/gallery_ewaste_recycling?currentPage=all" target="_blank">this one is in Roseville, CA</a></div>
