If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.

　　But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state retailers.

　　What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware theyre not supposed to throw computers in the trash, said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.

　　Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added.

　　Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isnt contracted to unscrupulous junk dealers who send the toxic parts overseas.

　　The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China, said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushing for an amendment to Shers bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.

　　26. What step were Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal.?

　　A) Exert pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.

　　B) Lay down relevant local regulations themselves.
