It's no small step, considering that 20 to 50 million tons of electronics waste is discarded globally every year, according to Greenpeace. If all that e-rubbish were put into containers on a train it would go once around the world!

Such a great idea to recycle anything possible! If the computers/keyboards/phones etc still work, The Salvation Army has begun to accept them for resale, too. Good job, Michael.

Michael C, you've done it again. I looked at the title and knew that this was from you. Very practical and common sensical information in your submission. I would send you another green star but you've gotten one from me in the past week. Keep up the excellent job.

Why the government doesn't force the manufacturer's to take them back is beyond me. Add a fee like deposits on bottles/cans...to encourage the population to their part too. I remember as a kid looking for coke bottles along the sides of the roads to get the money for candy...ah, the good old days...
