State thing. They take circuitboards, batteries and I see people with refrigerators all the time etc... and they are pretty "relaxed" on their standards of what they take... so yeah I don't like the fee but, no one else is open when I need to sell during the week and I don't want mounds of scrap in my backyard.
It's also a food bank.
They only charge me the fee a little more than 1/2 the time anyway - it depends on who is at the scale, and they give free gas on occasion... but I won't use it again (free gas). Sometimes when it's really backed up they don't charge anyone the fee as a way to say sorry for the inconvenience...
