Those old spare parts from old notebooks still have some prices and even those bulky CRT monitors are still selling on Ebay, the funny thing is that the shipping cost is more than the item's price.

We can never underestimate the importance of recycling. I am happy that Oregon has made this move, I hope that it picks up even more steam across the country. Thank you for posting this.

It's good that this law has been put into effect, but no law stands up on its own. The effects of compliance with it could spill over into other areas as negative effects. That's why regulation has to be interactive - not one law at a time but laws that interact and weave into each other. Otherwise you're just patching one hole and blowing out another. Still, it's a step in the right direction. I think that you bring up some excellent points. It’s good that this law has been put into effect, but no law stands up on its own.

However, I worry about the states of Idaho, Washington, California, and the fish at sea, not to mention the consumer. Manufacturers of such equipment now must either find a dumping ground outside outside of Oregon, pass expense on to the consumer or cease doing business in Oregon altogether. There are all kinds of loopholes in the law that will allow land filling to continue or worse. In addition, there is the added expense of monitoring such legislation which again will inevitably be passed along to the consumer. The US is already adding over 400 billion dollars per year in retail expense to the consumer based on government regulation. In addition, at least in California, one business bankruptcy in five is caused by heavy government regulations which are added haphazardly one upon the other and enforced by a cadre of expensive civil servants who care not that businesses actually have to make a profit in order to fulfill public mandates and stay in business. I am both happy and sad about this new legislation. It says things that we all like to hear, but, as usual, neglects the practical consequences of laws passed in isolation just because a legislative body possesses relatively unchecked power over a tiny area of the Earth.
