Jack Olmsted on 11 Dec 08If you've been waiting forever to unload that old TV or computer, Jan. 1 is your lucky day. A new state law requires electronics manufacturers to start safely recycling four of the most-discarded items, with no charge to consumers. Washington's law is the first in the nation to require electronics producers to pay for the whole process.

They fear a glut of electronic waste clogging the system just as it gets off the ground.
