Starting New Year's Day, Oregonians will be able to recycle, free of charge, the old computers and television sets filling their closets and garages. The Department of Environmental Quality has worked with manufacturers, collectors and recyclers to establish more than 230 drop-off stations throughout the state, giving life to a bill passed during the 2007 Legislature. Oregon is one of more than a dozen states that have made plans to deal with discarded electronics, according to the department. As it is now, customers typically have to foot the cost of recycling televisions, computers and computer monitors. That's if the customer knows such an option exists. The Department of Environmental Quality estimates only 18 percent of Oregon's electronic waste makes it to recycling centers. The rest ends up in garages and landfills.
