I was browsing a blog I follow and came across this article. Now, my impression has always been that electronics exported from here in the states went to a small village in China where the inhabitants used harsh chemicals to burn off electronics for the cartels. It's rather the reverse according to the article and I once again feel burned by the media. CBS who's been the leader in news was the one that first reported that this village was our dumping ground for electronics which is what got me into scrapping in the first place - now to read about it being the opposite, I feel I've been severely let down. Anyone else agree or am I the only one?
