What to do with electronic waste

In the February edition of The Voice, there’s a reminder that beginning in 2012, you will not be allowed to chuck your e-waste just any old way (how did I miss this last September?).
The article notes there’s a site that you can use to see where you can take stuff like computers. There’s slim pickens right now; let’s hope that bumps up.
Note: If you want to dispose of your TV because you bought one amid the digital transfer, you can take it to Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful’s metals drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 2 at Machesney Park Mall. The charge is $20 a TV, which helps remove chemicals to make the TVs safer for recycling.

For a second there I was thinking I’d have to take my computer’s trash can down to a desiginated location to dump my spam.
