Passing the couple other scrappers in my town, on the road, while driving.

It's a small town...very small town.... 600ish year round residents and only a few roads in town, less through the mountain passes. I will pass the other scrappers out on the road multiple times. We all know each other and for the most part keep it friendly waving and talking shop when we run into each other. We have all been busy since they added this regulation... NO ONE wants to pay to toss out "e-waste" and in a town this small we all know and grew up with each other it's as simple as picking up the phone and your "e-waste" is gone FREE.
Not what the town or state had in mind when they passed this..lol
As much as the few of us try many more lb's are ending up in gully's and ditches then in the hands of the scrappers and transfer stations.
Unfortunately this is the direct result of what was passed. It didn't start the illegal dumping but it certainly didn't help matters any.

I read some media source that only 20% of tvs get recycled. Maybe this will go up with more scrappers and over-the-horizon gov reg thinking. Maybe not...
