over here seem to go out of their way to encourage people *not* to use
usenet - and for all the bleating on that the local council and
newspaper does about recycling, when it comes down to it they don't
*actually* seem keen on promoting recycling at all. (Sorry, but that's a
real pet hate of mine)
I'll second that - waste haulers with municipal contracts over here
often only actually recycle a very few types of glass and plastic,
but seem to encourage people to put everything in the recycle bin.
I'm concerned that new wave of for-profit computer recycling places
will have the means to suck up a great deal of old computers. They
often pair up with municipalities (who've often levied fees for dumping
monitors) and then publicize computer-drop-off events.
