U.S. consumers still slow to recycle gadgets
April 17, 2008
Many U.S. consumers are not recycling old electronic gadgets despite promises by multiple organizations for hassle-free ways to get rid of electronic waste. Putting computers, televisions or cell phones in the trash is increasingly frowned on, and states like Massachusetts ban discarding many electronics in garbage cans. As a result, some local authorities arrange free recycling events and companies and charities around the country offer to recycle old devices. But while most U.S consumers say they approve of recycling, a large number are not actually doing it.
