<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1715773, member: 17919&quot;]That article is from 2008. A lot of things have happened since then. A metallurgist named Shigeo Nakamura, who has spent his life developing innovative ways of recovering metals from trash, recently developed the process for extracting metals from junked cell phones. And people in Japan usually don&#039;t just toss their old cell phones in the trash-- the cell phones can be taken to a retail outlet or even a community center for disposal (recycling), and there are even trucks that drive around neighborhoods that offer to collect junk computers and other electronic trash. There is even a site in a city near mine where people can dump their junk electronics into an empty lot, and the city will collect them and send them on to a recycling plant.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the Japanese government officially started encouraging this collection/recycling movement earlier this year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
