Same time they passed the law that sends you to jail of you throw anything in the trash with motor oil on it, and mandates that your car be seized and crushed (at your expense) if you knowingly allow your car's emissions system to be messed with.

You've got to be kidding, they crunch your car if you mess with the emission system. Then again, I believe it. They spend more time and money on this crap than going after murderers and keeping them behind bars for life where they belong. Sometimes I think there is more freedom in Russia, even under Putin, than we have here in the U.S., at least they have a flat tax system and, IIRC, you can own a fully automatic weapon over there. I joked in 1984 when I was in high school, "what if the USSR became the USA and the USA became the USSR?" Looks like we are going to find out if things go the way they are going.
Sorry for the OT rant. Getting back on the subject, us collecting old TV's and electronics, I think that is the best way to save them from polluting the environment. Let's face it, we keep them out of the landfills by collecting, admiring and using them.
Getting back to the USSR/Russia, as Yakov Smiroff said, "whatta country!"
