A wholly new industry is evolving to serve your needs. Very few electronics recyclers really are. State permits invite scrutiny by state environmental regulators. That means environmental rules are more likely to be observed. Without this plan, your obsolete electronics scrap can be abandoned as soon as the marketable items are sold off.
Someone has to pay for the disposal.
It could be you. Few recyclers can make this claim. Unless your recycler makes a clear commitment to keeping material out of landfills, the result is a tragic waste of re-usable resources. We strongly recommend that you investigate this first-hand. It is very important that you know how these and other high-risk materials are handle d since they are your responsibility.
