I'm not in favor of bloomberg's #biggulpban but there's nothing like a stupid argument in opposition, to make me want to switch sides.

Jan... it would be nice if they did, but unfortunately for us, they'd have to pick out more drink cans, cigarette butts, and other garbage than recyclables. Anonymous people are pigs, more often than not. I doubt it would be worth Walmart's while.
What has worked well here in east Tennessee is a drive-thru recycling drive for out-moded computer equipment. People bring their old (you'd be surprised what some people consider "old"!) computer equipment and it's accepted for either refurbishing or recycling. Most computers are free. People bringing monitors, which I presume require more to recycle, are charged a small fee ($3.00) whether they work or not. It's a great idea. Schools and other not-for-profits get the refurbished equipment, and the electronics store hosting the event gets lots of good-will and new customers. Generally the cars are lined around the block for hours.
