You do have a point there, I can see for some things charging a fee, such as for electronics due to the costs of recovering the hard metals and other hazardous materials, but up to a point though.
And I agree that businesses need to rethink their profit driven models and realize that some things like free drop off is crucial to get people to recycle large items such as old TV's etc.
I will be donating my old CRT monitor to a used PC place before long so it's out of my bedroom closet when these days, I can buy an inexpensive widescreen LCD monitor for not a whole lot if and when I go dual monitor.
But the good of it all is you'll feel so much better once all that excess cruft/junk is out of your life. Too many people hold onto stuff like that and it's a wonder so many think they need a larger and larger house, cause it's easier to shuffle stuff to the new place than it is to get rid of it in the first place. LOL.
