CHICAGO, IL Starting Jan. 1, Illinois residents must recycle their old electronics under a law aimed at keeping the items out of landfills. Environmental officials say there are concerns that heavy metals in electronics could cause groundwater pollution if they leach out of a landfill. But the metals - including gold, copper and cadmium - also can be recovered and reused.

It's about time we started to realize that throwing away used electronics is not only bad for the environment, but also, a tremendous waste of precious metals and materials to recycle or repurpose. This is a step in the right direction. What do you think?
