Yes, you can expect to see more trash on the side of the road from illegal dumping. Why? Because someone has decided that you must pay $25 to drop off any piece of electronic equipment.

That computer you no longer want? $25 to get rid of it. Same for a TV. And would you believe that even your old keyboard will cost you $25 to dump?

I thought we paid for our dump use through our property taxes. And they actually make money scrapping your old electronic equipment.
