Hello from Lancaster, PA!

Its illegal to throw away any electronic device in my county - anything that has a board in it has to given to waste management separately so they can be dealt with as scrap, not garbage. They take electronics for free, I think they charge $2/piece for CRT monitors and if its just a lamp you can throw it away. I'm not sure if that's going to help me or hurt me. Time shall tell.

There is a similar law here in Ind. since January of 2014 but that hasn't stopped people from throwing it away. They just stuff it down into the trash can/hopper. The law didn't hurt me but didn't really help either. Just put a bigger problem on the smaller trash services trying to figure out how to keep the stuff out of the waste stream.
