If this is a stupid quesiton I apologize in advance.
Is there any type of protocol or recycling concerns, environmental or otherwise, or when discarding old/used vacuum tubes? Any use or value to someone for old tubes? I would gladly do what I need to do to dispose of them properly or to see that they can be put to use by someone else.
I post this question on this forum as I know there are some very capable amp people who participate in THE FENDER FORUM.
In the past I have thrown them out and had not thought much about it. I just got my amp back from the shop today and the tech, as is his normal practice, returned to old tubes to me. Let me know. Thanks.
