I dont know how much truth that article holds.
I know here in florida at least there are very stringent regulations and processing agenceys / plants designed and operated with the sole purpose of dealing with discareded electronics of all types, computers included.
For anything that 'slips by' the original screening the landfill dumps are constantly 'patrolled' and any discarded electonics from an AA battery to large televisions are extracted and sent to the processing plant.
A good deal of time and money is spent by the goverment to assure that we are not 'posining' anything.
