This is a huge problem, and I know that I play a role. As an example I have a smart phone and the battery keeps dying, so I have had to order new batteries. I am going to find a place to recycle this waste (I think Staples takes these items), but I know that many people are not aware in the same they are with plastics and newspapers that are collected curbside, that recycling for these electronics is available, and that the price for not safely recycling them is probably much greater than throwing a newspaper of soda can away in the trash.
