Incidentally, I don't think it's illegal in Idaho to landfill your TV or
PC. That's not a recommendation to landfill such items, just my
presumption of the state of law. I have a 17-inch monitor that still
works, but is rather flakey, so I'm also wondering if anyone can recycle
(repair) it, or if I will have to dispose of it.
This type of refuse is not mentioned on Moscow Recycling's Web site
(http://www.moscowrecycling.com/), either under regular items accepted, or
hazardous items accepted. I'm forwarding this to Moscow Recycling for some
guidance.
