How Many off us are E-Stewards or R-2 Certified Electronic Recyclers ????????

Ha Easy you bring up valid points, but let me just say it this way, in the scope of it all the costs are not really to bad, and the costs can be spread out if you need over the certifying process. I am looking at the big picture and I believe it's sooner than later for all states will have to install federal guide lines for e-scrap. The electronic manufactures have already started to include recycling costs in the price of new equipment. And all the big box stores are using only certified recyclers I have heard. It's just smart business and putting it of will only cost you more in the long run. A short little story, I have a friend located in Miami, a couple of years ago he had the smarts to become a certified EPA location for recycling of fluorescent lite bulbs, let's just say in a couple of short years he has done extremely well for him self. The days of burning the installation off wire in a 55 gallon drum fire over nite are over. Just my .02.
