[LUAU] Mail Back: USPS to recycle (some) e-waste free of charge

[Dave Burns]

Too bad it is not happening in Hawaii (except apple - great if you
have a mac). It looks like the USPS one may ultimately come to Hawaii,
but it is only for cell phones, toner carts, other small stuff,  no
PCs. I wonder if they'd let you take out a circuit board, break it in
half, and stuff it in the envelope? Dell needs to get moving.
