    NY State free drop-off locations for CRT tubes

    Hope this is the right section.

    After searching all over the place I finally found where New York residents (not businesses) can turn in the much-hated CRT tubes from monitors and TVs. For free. This is a subject I was quite ignorant on and found it very frustrating trying to get this information. But I hung in there and kept trying.

    Here is a list for the entire state: http://www.ewaste.com/partners.php

    According to NYS law, computer manufacturers and distributors are required to collect certain residential e-waste items for free. Assuming I read the information correctly, that is. In fact, I was quite shocked to find out that it is actually illegal for refuse collection services to collect curbside e-waste.

    Yep Indiana passed the same law on Jan. 1 that no electronics are supposed to go to a landfill.
