eBay's new computer recycling program Computers

eBay has announced its new Rethink Recycling Program. Their intent is to reduce the huge amount of waste created from computer components getting dumped into landfills. I know first hand that it's getting harder and harder to get rid of old computer junk these days. I can't even donate it anymore! While I am fortunate to live very close to Apple Computer's recycling program, not many people are so lucky. eBay's program look good so far. It's collecting links for local recycling and has the "last resort" option of letting eBay sell it for you. Sounds like a good win-win solution as people are just going to dump their crap everywhere if it's too hard, time consuming or expensive to properly dispose of their electronics.
