This week my father was trying to sneak 2 older electric typewriters into the trash so he could avoid the 10 dollar landfill fee to have them recycled properly.
This was as we're driving to get some beer in his 300 horsepower Lexus LS430.
I of course pointed out the ethical problem with his choice. Without funding for recycling programs such as this the lead and other bad stuff in those old PCB's will just find its way into his own groundwater. His own grandson will be impacted by his decision.
It's not like you have a god given right to pollute, even in the local landfill. To me, 5 bucks to properly recycle a computer is a small price to pay.
