Real Recycling

As long as it only costs a few thousand dollars (in the US) to send a shipping container back to China full of PC boards, there will be no real significant change in the way electronic waste is recycled and disposed of.

First hand experience tells me that, no matter the regulations that say you can't do it, it still goes on.

I look at the mounds of recycled boards we generate and wish some lightbulb, (low-watt fluorescent of course), would go off showing me a better way. I sure hope it comes.
