Rob,
Thanks for "the rest of the story". I wish there were more recyclers like those you speak of. That we could be reasonably certain what would happen to our growing pile of old computers and monitors.
We here in New Hampshire my town and many others have been looking for bonafide recyclers. You are in VT. Do you take recycled electronics from NH? Most of what we have are working devices (just outdated, too slow or are CRTs (which we don't use anymore).

Bolb,
Actually, I was interviewed for 3 hours but wasn't ultimately used as a source because a) it didn't fit in their 8 minutes, and b) Scott Pelley was really thrilled to have someone try to take his camera away.
While the story is true, it omits a key step in the chain. * Here is the rest of the story<http://retroworks.blogspot.com/2009/08/cbs-60-minutes-wasteland-unseen-footage.html>.
