WLSSD banned televisions and monitors from garbage back in in 2000. When the items are found in the WLSSD transfer station, haulers are warned or fined. Sometimes the items are traced to their owners.
But starting July 1, and you'll be breaking the law the same as if you threw it into a grassy ditch.
You'll also be fined if you get caught.
But if you take that old TV to a recycling center, as the new law requires, it could cost you more than $100 to have the recycler take it.
Most people do the right thing and pay to recycle, Anderson said. And many consumers may be holding on to their old TVs and computers, waiting for the day when disposal is cheaper or free.
