I have to pay an e-waste recycling tax when I buy electronics in California?

22 Jan Posted by in Recycle | 5 comments

Question by New California Republic: I have to pay an e-waste recycling tax when I buy electronics in California?
This is insane. They keep raising the tax on this too. What’s worse is the e-waste gets shipped to China where it’s broken down and ends up poisoning villages so they can make 1.25 a day

    Then go to mexico to buy your electronics!! It is a buyer beware business down there though!!! Always check the insides before you buy!!!!!!

    Gotta find money to drop bombs on brown people and help vulnrable women kill their kids all on your dime, it normal to some loons.

  • Bottom Contributor says:

    Too bad we can’t recycle Brown in a few months – I’d gladly pay $35 to have him shipped to some Chinese village

  • Cris Ray says:

    Get use to it .Some one has to pay for all the liberal ideas California has.

  • Reality has a Liberal Bias says:

    Actually, China has more stringent ROHS/WEEE regulations than we do.

    If you can’t pay for the cost of recycling the stuff you buy, you shouldn’t buy it in the first place.
