they must be doing something on a larger scale than what I do. because, whats the difference if I set a monitor out at my trash for pickup fully stripped vs. if I left all the stuff inside of it? Im not busting the glass so there is no law I'm breaking there IMO. folks throw tv's and monitors out all day long everywhere and thats not illegal so they must have been doing something to harm the environment.

I cant access the story to read all the details so I'm going on what I can see - that they were fined for improper disposal?
