What do they do with the old CRT monitors at the dump?

The CRT monitors are also called Cathode Ray Tubes, and they are some of the earliest electronic monitors to use glass bulbs.  They’re most often destroyed, or reused for other purposes.

Just smash them and bury them?

Some people reuse them. Some are sold as scrap metal. Some are sold on a reseller site.

What can you hook old CRT monitors up to these days?
user
Depending on their age and model, they may be very difficult to connect to newer technology.  But old monitors can still be useful if you want to connect them to audio systems.  They are also still possible to connect to old computers, though the picture quality will not be great.  For example, there’s a vintage computer emulator called PSSICE that allows old monitors to be used on modern computers.
