This goes into effect July, 2013 after a public service campaign to educate the good citizens of Colorado on what to do with all the electronics that were being disposed of in the landfills. All these electronics must now be recycled by a certified company. I read this and almost fell out of my chair. This means that should we decide to accept e-waste we will be getting tons and tons of it for FREE! (Unless of course they break it down into shippable commodities such as boards, heat sinks, copper wire). The biggest hurdle that I was faced with was what to do with undesirable (undesirable in the eyes of my company) by-products such as CRTs.

I have spent the better part of the week reading any viable information I can find and also hours on the phone talking to the EPA, lobbyist etc. trying to find out what hoops we need to jump through to get this thing off the ground. Any info that y'all think might be pertinent to my quest please throw it at me. I now have visions dancing through my head of electronic drives at my yard, where we get multiple tons of electronics for free!
Well if you get that big with the ewaste then I would think the plastic buyers would come to you, cause if you guys break it down your going to generate quite a bit.
