[RFI] RFI via Florescent Lights

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

Our town fortunately started taking electronics years ago. They were surprised how fast the container filled up with TV sets and desktop computers.

You cannot remove computers since people were hacking into the hard drives. 

I used to see radios, CB's scanners. I asked about them and apparently the town emergency services takes that stuff.

Once something is in the container you cannot remove it. People place working equipment, such as audio equipment, in front of the container. If there are no takers in goes into the container at the end of the day.

Besides CRT televisions I and starting to see printers and plasma sets these days.

: Not here. They no longer dispose of the fluorescent tubes, nor can I
: find any local place that does.  I was stuck with a bunch of them  last
: year.

And they wonder why they are dumped on the side of the road by the
hundreds...  Same with TVs, I saw about a dozen on the side of the roads and 
in parking lots today.
