Beginning January 24th, a new law goes into effect in Pennsylvania that bans all electronics from landfills. That means if you try to throw out your old television or computer, the garbage haulers will not take them. And if you get caught trying to leave it at a landfill, you could face a thousand dollar fine. Televisions alone can hold seven pounds of lead each. Instead of tossing them in the trash, you'll have to bring your gadgets and gizmos to a recycling center.
