From Rep. Mike Tryon's e-newsletter:
"Beginning January 1, it will no longer be legal for individuals to dispose of unwanted electronics in their regular trash. Discarded electronics, including computers, monitors, electronic keyboards, scanners, fax machines and many other electronic devices, must now be taken to a registered recycler for proper management. It will be illegal for the consumer to dispose of them in the trash and it will be illegal for Illinois landfills to accept them."
Not only can you no put that old junk out at the curb, you can't toss it in the trash.
Watch for e-recycling events sponsored by townships (well, at least Grafton Township) and MCC. They are usually free.

Its about time. As the electronics decay and breakdown over the ages, the chemical compounds leach into the water system. Ulntimately affecting the taste of TMB's beer! DOH!
