Recycle Obsolete Digital Devices

[wdlove]

We are doing a pretty good job with soda cans. The problem is with cell phones, PDA's, CPU's, and monitors. They are very toxic to the environment. The industry needs to do a better job with recycle plans.

Out at the landfill I live near, there's also a recycling station. If you have electronics, you leave it in a trailer and once a day somebody comes and puts it all on pallets for recycling. It's completely free. Pretty cool, huh?

imma try to not the get political.. but my aunt's company recycles mobo's, monitors and stuff, but the way they're recycled sucks, both for the environment and the people doing the work... it's just swept under the rug...

(not indicative of all companies. and im talking about recycling, not reusing )

Yes, it is cool David Deluxe. It is good news. Is the landfill easy for all residents to visit for the purpose of recycling?
