New Attempt To Recycle TVs, Computers Passes California Senate
from the recycle-away dept
California politicians are trying, once again, to require electronics manufacturers to put in place recycling plans. Of course, in the past year (since the last such bill was vetoed), many companies have started to do so. The last bill just added an "e-waste" surcharge to every item - but this one is a bit more sensible. It just says manufacturers need to come up with a way to more easily recycle their goods. I'm assuming that things like Dell's home pickup recycling program is the type of thing they're looking for.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
