It might be time to move. The more populated the area, the more rules, the more people to make rules, and politicians think they are responsible to control the masses.
All states must follow EPA rules and regulations. As far as I know, the EPA does not have specific rules, but instead recommendations for electronic recycling. The states I work in do not require R2 or ROIS certifications for recyclers. Electronic recycling is not classified as hazardous waste here so those rules do not apply either. Since I do very little ewaste, I had to research the requirements in this area. No county or state licensing is required as well. Our largest recyclers may have other regulations that I am not aware of.
The point is some states issue more recommendations and guidelines than rules and regulations. High density areas tend to do the opposite. Case in point is our states handling of the Coronavirus. They made recommendations, but left it up to local communities as to how to handle it.
I have to cut this short because I am heading to Mt. Rushmore to watch the Dakota Rednecks protect it and our history from those destroying all of our statues. Around here it is known as culling the herd.
This is not an attempt to hijack a thread, only a follow up on my last statement. We had a protest that blocked the one of the main routes to Mt. Rushmore. That was quickly disbursed. The hills were alive with firearms, military, law enforcement, and law abiding citizens. Crazy thing was, nobody toppled the statues. It might have been because of the fighter jets over head instead of the firearms. I doubt the monument is in jeopardy, there are several armed citizen groups camped just outside the restricted area.
