I put the big or important electronics like busted t.v.'s or computers, on the curb, our own poor people or the illegals take them to melt down for profit themselves, no use of me encouraging china to profit from it, or even let them have the fun of committing human abuses to have cheap/prison labor do it, I get all the fun myself!
Also, I just throw my small electronics and batteries in the trash, too much hi-cost gas to go to the fire station across town, and besides, it's my firm belief that it is ancient atlantis land fill trash that gives us the petrol oil we use today. I'm merely contributing my trash to the well being and continuance of our oil supply!
