Dear Eileen, 

I am responding more as a survey writer than as a waste professional. 


Despite great anecdotal evidence to support this supposition, I submit that
choice "c" should be modified to read "who will likely pass it on" or
probably , or some other modifier.  That is, unless 100% of all
manfuacturers of items that might possibly be recycled have  stated "c"
(unmodified) as their position.  Anything less and you may run into a bit of
flack from these manufacturers if they choose to take exception. 


You may also want to clarify in the question (and I don't have the full
instrument before me so therefore lack context) that CRTs and monitors cost
more than traditional recycleables due to the presence of toxics.  Simply
stating "more" (a comparative) without the standard it is being compared to
can confuse the respondents. 


Hope these suggestions help.

Hello fellow colleagues, 

I am getting ready for our 3rd annual electronics recycling event in 
Cabarrus County and have decided to add a question to our survey about the 
pending electronics ARF.  I would like to make the question a bit more 
concise (and maybe less abrupt) for the form so I am looking for your 
expertise.  Please send comments directly to me at 
ebsousley@co.cabarrus.nc.us < mailto:ebsousley@co.cabarrus.nc.us

Q.    Recycling monitors and televisions costs money because of the cathode 
ray tube (CRT). Due to the toxic materials in the unit, it is likely that 
they will soon be banned from landfills. How would you like to see the cost 
for recycling funded? 
A.    An advanced recycling fee when purchasing item (similar to that for 
refrigerators & tires) 
B.    A fee when it is being disposed or recycled (like today) 
C.    By the manufacturer of the unit (who will pass it on to the retailer 
and then the consumer) 
D.    Other (please specify)________________________________ 


Thank you. 


Happy Recycling!
