A bill working its way through the Kentucky General Assembly would add government bureaucracy and a series of taxes, fees, and fines to the cost of electronics equipment sold in Kentucky supposedly to create a recycling program.
And yet here is a list of companies who will provide the same services at no cost to consumers, retailers, manufacturers, taxpayers or anyone else.
Hmm. Problem solved? Or are we still going to look for a government solution?

Totally agree this bill is overly bureaucratic. The state government shouldn't try to find the end solution.
But they are right in identifying that electronic waste is a problem and I wouldn't mind the state banning it from going to state landfills.
Allow the private recycling businesses to step in and fill the new demand for electronic waste removal.
