So I guessing I can no longer throw away old car batteries or motor oil?
Well, you dig a 1’ diameter hole about four feet deep in your back yard, and motor oil is no longer a problem. The batteries take a bigger hole, depending on how many you throw away.
Whenever I have an old tv, I just implode the picture tube, break down the set and chassis, and throw it away over several weeks of garbage. I did that with a 35 incher and all my old computer monitors.
