US Congress to push for e-recycling program

There is a big movement to get manufactures to reduce the amount of lead and mercury in electronics (Reduction of Hazardous Substances, RoHS). This should aid the recycling effort, not sure how much of old electronics is useful.
Back when I was younger my father used to have me strip the old copper windings out of generators and motors. If you want to make a child happy just give him some old generator magnets, they are way more powerful then anything they might have seen.
