O.K. Damon, I'm putting you to the test. How many states have introduced legislation in the past 6 months where the wording of the legislation is almost exactly the same (with variation for states name, enforcement agency name, etc) as this bill? Do you really thing Hawaii came up with this on their own or do you think its part of a greater organized effort that's behind the bills?
FYI, Microwaves wouldn't be covered (“shall not include”) as the bill is primarily aimed at televisions and computers.
As for punafish. Microwave ovens don't contain anything considered hazardous. It's not like a $10 ionized smoke detector, which has a radioactive particle inside. Consider it nothing but a big CB radio that Tim the ToolMan messed around with. If there's an electronics recycling center, they usually will take them off your hands. I usually find a used appliance and repair store that's willing to take it for free. They fix them up with a few dollars worth of parts and sell or donate them.
