as far as the future of e-waste around me the state of vermont is advertising free e-waste drop off at 90 locations due to the recent laws of no e-waste allowed in landfills. Being across the river in NH we also have the same e-waste laws but no free drop offs as of yet this has brought a huge surplus of e-waste to me for right now. I'm seeing vermont is laying the ground work and if they start making profits i'm sure a lot of states will be following in their footsteps. so what will happen will i have to start paying for e-waste because they can drop it of free... not likely!
It seems to me if you are in the e-waste side of this buisiness you better be prepared to deal with less volume or and it's a big or get into the game big now perhaps dealing with state gov and epa to run own these drop off locations basically becoming huge overnight.
One thing is for sure states are starting to find ways to deal with the e-waste whether your their or not.
