What percentage of electronics today are being recycled properly?

A very, very low percentage of electronics are now being recycled appropriately in the United States. Unfortunately, California has led the way on this issue but the other states have been slow to follow and the other countries have been slow to follow. However, changes are in the wind. I believe that other states and other countries are going to start catching up, because they see the great success of the California Recycling Model. In 2005, 65 million pounds of electronic waste was recycled appropriately in the state of California. In 2006, over 120 million pounds of electronic waste was recycled in California. Those numbers are growing, year over year and day over day.
