If this is the case then this is an excellent plan, how ever Statistics show most e-waste that is being recycling is being shipped over seas and sold for a quick buck. In most cases it's actually illigeal for some of these countries to accept our e-waste becuase of the danger, and it's being smuggled in by American companies. 82% of electronics are placed in landfills, 80% of recycled e-waste is shipped overseas.

Why noy use other parts of world like Mideast. I have been trying to upgrade my LG washing machine (semi automatic 3 year use V good condition) to fully automatic one and trying to talk to LG people in Dubai but of no response. These multi Nationals do not have interest in waste or recycling untill & unless regulations are enforced or general public put pressure on them like in USA & EU on EPR laws, e-recycling, etc. Why concentrate to USA.
