Comments on: Electronics industry urges federal e-waste action

Representatives tell Congress a uniform national system--not a patchwork of local regulations--is needed for recycling.

I am all for this... if...

They make it easy to get rid of the stuff when your done with it. If it turns other to be like getting rid of paint, oil and other toxics here in Northern California it isn't worth the hassle. It is easier and cheaper just to chuck it out the car window and on a deserted road.

Our toxic recycling center is only open three days a week for limited hours. I don't know how they expect a working person to use it. They also limit how much you can drop off and even charge for somethings.

I am getting ready to buy a laptop. There is an $8 recycling fee. $8 I will never see again even when I recycle becuase they don't pay you back. The few places that do again have poor hours, are a great distance away so that you end up spending $10 in gas just to get $8 back.

The whole recycling thing is a joke.
