My dump takes them for like $5. Check your local transfer station.

Like Zig said, take it to your local transfer station. Or wait for your community to have a HazMat day.

put it by the curb and wait for someone who thinks "free monitor! it's broken maybe, but i can probably fix it!"
to come by and pick it up

done that with 3 old monitors... works like a charm

Put it on the expressway and watch a semi run over it.

Do not take it to Best Buy, as they do not dispose of old computer equipment.

Check your local transfer station, or use the 'curb' method.

I know someone that got a 23-or-something-inch CRT that way. Works fine, save for the fact everything has a slightly pink tinge..

not true

Best Buy / CompUSA had a recycling program that (according the the web link I was passed to) ended on Labor Day weekend, where you could bring in one system a day & they would dispose of it.

CRT disposal

- are there any electronic recyclers nearby?
- any TV/CRT repair places, that can use it for parts?
- any local, fellow geeks that want it?

Actually, no, Best Buy didn't. At least, none of the stores in the northeastern part of the USA were participating in it - it may have been a regional or district thing, or even just a one store thing (The lab stores out west do all sorts of wacky stuff). They DO have a recylcing drop-off for old cell phones, rechargable batteries, and ink cartridges / toner cartridges, in conjunction with an EPA program. CompUSA has ALWAYS recycled used towers, but I do not know if they do that with monitors or not.

Actually Best Buy will if you really insist. They should have you sign a paper.
