Thanks for the comments guys! I was specially thinking of you guys that do this full time or as a major part of your income. It seems that the small business guy tries to do it the right way but the cards are stacked against them. Everybody buys big screen electronics so put a very small extra tax on them and dedicate that towards getting rid of the old stuff right. To me, it seems like a straight forward type of solution although I'm sure there would be some technical details to be worked out. Maybe the problem isn't "sexy" enough to make tv news (no irony there, huh!) but the various bureaucrats notice because getting paperwork "i"s dotted and "t"s crossed is their life. Just crazy...
