We used to dispose of the old unlaminated TV CRTs by placing them in 
a large metal trashcan, face down, and tapping the very end of the 
neck with a hammer.  If you were lucky, you knocked a tip off the 
evacuation stem and the vacuum was relieved with a long hiss.  If you 
were unlucky, the thing imploded.

But yeah, I remember the kids in the alleyways using the tubes for 
batting practice...

Cheers,
