Trey,

It is interesting that while you seem to be up to date on the problem of recyclers exporting e-waste, you do not mention the Basel Action Network or their e-Stewards program. (www.BAN.org) BAN is the only organization in the U.S. who’s sole focus is eliminating the toxic e-waste that is being exported, in the name of recycling, but is really only polluting 3rd world countries where there are no recycling laws.

In fact, several electronic waste recyclers i looked up on your site are not e-Stewards, nor do they actually report what is done or how the waste they collect is actually recycled.

I will admit that almost any recycling is better than tossing electronic waste into the garbage, however, we are on the doorstep of correct and thorough recycling, lets not let our lack of due diligence prevent us from going through the door.
