Recycling of electronics should be mandatory. If it isn't in your locality, get involved and get funding for it, and arrange for it to happen. It's just a matter of being personally responsible. If all else fails, Best Buy (and presumably other retailers) will take electronics in for recycling for a small fee (offset by a matching gift card in the case of Best Buy).
My locality does an electronics recycling once a year, so I just save everything until then. Where my sister lives in California, they'll accept any electronic device in the recycling bin and recycle it, but she pays a bit more for her waste management bill than I do.
