eCycling" Pilot Program in 5 States and D.C.

Several /. stories have discussed the problem of
disposing of electonic gear laden with hazardous materials. The EPA,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, DC, and
about a dozen corporate sponsors have launched a pilot program to
collect and recycle computers and electronics. The objective is to
collect data to "develop a long-term cost effective system to remove
computers (including monitors & peripherals) and TVs from the
municipal waste stream." (My car is now loaded up with five monitors,
3 old HP RISC worksations, several partial PCs, an old TV, and
various parts and pieces for the Baltimore County drop-off
tomorrow...if any area geeks are looking to scavange old gear this
might be a prime opportunity.)"
