Electronic Waste sucks. The Seattle Weekly says the city will come pick up the monitors in 2009, and that derelict dumping isn't a huge problem, but I see at least one monitor dumped every day on Capitol Hill.
Currently, it costs $12 to "recycle" a monitor at Staples. The city doesn't have any sort of facility to pick this stuff up curbside. What happens to it when it's left on the curb?
Somewhat related (in a smashing stuff, bikini girl way), I saw this vid on BoingBoing today, "Throwing Away Broken Electronics". Enjoy...
