RE: [GreenYes] Computer Recycling responsibility

The Mass DEP study can be found at:

http://www.epa.gov/region1/compliance/solid/publications.html

in Section H: Attachments.

The MN Report is available off the OEA’s website at:

http://www.moea.state.mn.us/plugin/report.cfm

The Best Buy survey results indicate 79% of respondents prefer to pay at end of life.

Chris,

Is there a location you can recommend where I could find the surveys you reference and their results?

Thanks,

Most of the survey data that has been done, including the only "general population" survey done by the Mass DEP, the survey work done in Minnesota and at 10 Best Buy collection events around the country indicate a strong willingness, and (depending on which survey data you look at), even a preference, for paying at end-of-life.

There are strong and compelling reasons to have a front-end fee, consumer preference isn't one of them.
