<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19723/20120425/e-waste-recycling-from-bytes-to-bits-and-pieces</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 25, 2012) When the town of Canton opened a drop-off site this week for old electronics, it was not only giving St. Lawrence County residents a convenient way to dispose of unwanted TVs, computers, and cellphones, it was also helping them comply with the law.This month marks the one-year anniversary of the New York State law that requires old electronics be recycled instead of simply thrown in the trash. Under the law, manufacturers have to collect and recycle the products they create when consumers are done with them. But a new report by the Natural Resources Defense Council finds the law is having mixed results. Reporter Tracey Samuelson of New York Public Radio followed one discarded computer through the recycling process.
