The article insinuates that only Waste Management, a private trash collection company, is able to take old ewaste.

I work at Recomprecycling.com, and we take old ewaste free from California residents every day.

We offer a much higher level of service to businesses and government agencies than Waste Management, a trash company, or Goodwill. We’ll send a truck to pick it up.

The unfortunate consecquence of these actions, if it were you or I, would be fines. Now, how do go about fining the gubmint? I opine a tax credit to all, in the amount of the fine. Let the gubmint feel the pinch…

I already donate my old WORKING electronics to Goodwill, now I will consider donating my old non-working electronics as well…

and to what others have said, I can’t believe even responsible consumers are forced to pay e-waste fees when state agencies (that presumably don’t pay the fees) aren’t even complying.

Sowhat - I’m pretty sure you’ve herad this, there are two things in life that you can not avoif one being taxes and the other being death, especially inthe U.S. If you really feel against this then i suggest that you pick up and leave the country because anywhere you go around here its goign to be the same story.

As fo the state agencies..WAY TO GO!!! setting the right example and following the laws!! No wonder everyone says Californians are ignorant and nieve….so sad

Goodwill Industries of Orange County is a state certified collector of E-Waste. What could be easier?

This is a clear example of how regulations cost money to follow and even the State cannot afford to follow the rules.

Time to get real with what is expected of the People of California.

Hey but are we not paying an e-waste tax now? Who is getting that money? Can I use the money to have my e-waste picked up from my home when I am done using my TV?
