[P2assist] TV's

[Tom Rhodes]

Good day Eileen and illustrious members of P2assist,

    Electronics recycling is still in the development stage in many areas,
and I am so glad that interested parties in your area have taken up the task
to recycle television sets. Are they also collecting computer monitors?
Eventually the cost for collection and recycling may even out so that the
cost is not so burdensome on the community or its citizens. My personal
prefence is to require manufacturers to be responsible for the disposal, but
I can't see that happening anytime soon. Perhaps, in your community, the
cost for disposal could somehow be shared by the community and the citizens.

Check out DPPEA's Directory of Markets for Recyclable Materials to find
markets for televisions and other electronics.
