Not exactly.
Certain people are still buying monitors working or not. One
of my friends just brokered a deal on 3,000 old apple monitors. Not nice
big ones either, but old 14" monitors.
3000 untested Apple monitors? Good lord....What for?
Apparently they ship them up to Canada to build houses out of. The CRT
makes an incredible insulator, and spray on a bit of stucco and nobody
knows whats underneath.
Actually the two stories I have heard are that they are being reused, or
some kind of special metal recovery is done.
