This is really nice.....I feel the governement should pass legisaltions that state that a company producing non-biodegradable products should also be responsible to put away with it !

This is even better! There is this group of eco vigilanties in Manhattan who go around snatching used computers and furniture off the street at night before the sanitation department come to pick it up the next day. I went along with them and got a really good dell system complete with a printer that was dumped out on the street from an office. I must say it was quite wacky but a lot of fun. If you go you should bring gloves and a luggage carrier so you can wheel it home plus dont expect to find a hard drive and check that you're getting some memory with it. www.curbsidebooty.com

Were the 78 million tons recovered from the U.S. only or does this represent global recovery?

I assume all this electronics junk won't be shipped off to China, India or some other far-east/3rd world country to be dismantled/"processed" in a manner that stands completely at odds with western environmental regulations...

As we all know - or at least should - such practices are far too common in the tech industry. Yes, recycling is good. But when dangerous materials are being handled by people with no education or protection, and in a manner that allows them to leak out uncontrollably into the environment, it's not so good.
