Our province will on Feb 1 implement a new at-purchase fee that goes to pay for the recycling/safe disposal of electronics. I think it ranges from a 5$ for a laptop, I think $20 for a PC and $45 for a widescreen TV. It will eventually be expanded to include all electronics. I think this is a WONDERFUL idea, IF that money is actually used for such programs. Problem is, although the policy is about to be initiated, the government has not yet told us where we can take this old stuff to be reused/recycled/disposed of safely. Sigh. Such is the ineffectiveness of government.
