With the switch to digital broadcasting on the near horizon, ASL Recycling is adding 28 more e-waste drop-off locations to its GREENetwork in an effort to help keep more TVs and other waste out of landfills.

Expectations are that loads of people are running of to get a new TV in prep for the switch to digital, and so will be tossing old TVs. While the whole situation is a bit of a forehead slapper since you don’t need to ditch your whole TV – just add a converter box – this is a great idea to help out with e-waste that is sure to appear since TV watchers will find this a great excuse to get the latest and greatest, something that is also prompting a wave of reactions by concerned citizens.

The addition of drop-off spots down the southern coast will make the GREENetwork about 160 locations strong throughout California. Additionally, I think this kind of effort to minimize the impact of the conversion, and others that make e-cycling easy, brings even more focus to the broadening awareness of the importance of proper e-waste management.
