[AccessD] Bid announcement

Yea, I read a big article on how the (mainland) Chinese are importing these
old computers for recycling, mostly the gold.  They have few if any real
pollution laws so they are creating huge toxic waste dumps when they dump
the unrecycled materials.  There are LOTS of very nasty stuff in a computer.
The West is essentially using them as a legal dumping ground.

I recently read an old National Geographic (mid-1990s) article about Taiwan.
It showed heaps of old computer parts with laborers digging through it and
separating it by hand for processing. It stated it was mostly shipped in
from the U.S.

It's probably recycling old computers, monitors and other electronics with
toxics in them.  Big deal now.  Turns out old computers are loaded with bad
stuff.  Here about twice a year you can bring all your stuff to the stadium
for recycling.  I think HP sponsors it. I understand it's going over to
China where they extract the gold and other stuff.
