    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.

    In the midst of a show dedicated to birthing new technology and gadgets, there was some serious thought Tuesday about where consumer electronics go when they die. "The things that are on display right now are new and shiny at the moment, but somewhere down the road they're going to be obsolete and ready to be recycled," said Brian Taylor, editor in chief of Recycling Today Media Group, who moderated a panel discussion at the International Consumer Electronics Show. "The recycling of electronic goods, in particular, is being pushed by environmental advocates and by governments around the world," Taylor

Japanese City Finds Treasure in Recycling Unwanted Electronics | GreenerComputing - 0 views

    ODATE, JP -- Many small pieces can add up to a big whole, and one small city in the north of Japan is finding there's money in the process as well. Odate, a city of about 80,000 people in Akita Prefecture, on the northern end of Honshu, the big island of Japan, has begun diverting small electronics from landfills and using the town's mining history to salvage precious metals from the waste. By putting collection bins outside supermarkets and community centers, the city gathering about 17 tons of e-waste in 11 months, from April 2007 to February 2008, according to a report from Harufumi Mori in Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper. The gadgets collected range from broken appliances to hair dryers to cell phones -- all too small to fall under the scope of recycling laws in Japan. Although they're small, they're far from worthless, the city is finding. After looking through just over one-third of the waste, Mori reports that the city might find as much as half a kilogram of tantalum, one kilogram of gold, and as much as 4 kilograms of silver and palladium. All from less than one year of collections in one city among a gadget-crazy country with over 127 million residents. As a former mining town, Odate is well equipped to harvest precious metals from e-waste.

Starting Jan. 1, recycle TVs, computers for free in Oregon and Washington - PDX Green -... - 0 views

    The typical American home contains 24 consumer electronic products, the latest statistics show: Televisions, computers, cell phones, digital cameras, game consoles, plus all their beeping cousins. Holiday gift-giving doesn't just widen the stream of gadgets and gizmos. It makes orphans of the old stuff. Got a great deal on an LCD television for Christmas? Upgraded to a faster PC? Unwrapped a Blu-ray to replace that standard DVD player? Each item likely displaces another, leaving behind a heap of electro-rubble. Last year, Americans shoved aside an estimated 27 million outdated or unwanted televisions, and 205 million computers and chunks of related hardware (printers, mice, etc.), according to the Environmental Protection Agency. We crammed most of this e-waste inside a million basements, or stuffed it in the trash.
