Electronic Equipment
Replace the paragraphs in the introduction to this section (except the paragraphs on e-Bay, Earth 911, and the U.S. Postal Service with the following language:
“Used and unwanted electronic equipment represents one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world and particularly in the United States. Electronic waste, or e-waste for short, is comprised of various types of computer, office, audio, and video equipment, including such items as computers, monitors, laptops, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, telephones, stereos, compact disk (CD) and digital video disk (DVD) players, CDs, DVDs, audio and video cassette recorders (VCRs), and audio and video cassette tapes. These items contain toxic materials such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PVC plastics, and brominated flame retardants. When disposed of in a landfill, these materials can contaminate soil and groundwater over time. In an effort to address this issue, in January 2005 California became the first state in the nation to establish a funding system for the collection and recycling of certain types of e-waste. A fee is charged at the point of sale on computer monitors, laptops, televisions, and portable DVD players that contain a cathode ray tube (CRT) or liquid crystal display (LCD) and that have a video display screen measuring more than four inches diagonally. The current statewide fee varies according to the size of the screen: $8.00 when the screen is larger than 4 inches but smaller than 15 inches $16.00 when the screen is at least 15 inches but smaller than 35 inches $25.00 when the screen is 35 inches or larger Retailers are required to transmit the fees to the California Board of Equalization, which then deposits the funds into the Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Account. Approved collectors and recyclers of e-waste are eligible to receive a portion of these funds to help offset their costs to safely collect and recycle the materials. In February 2006 the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) banned the disposal of additional types of e-waste (supplementing the regulations already in place for computers and televisions), as well as household batteries, fluorescent lights, and mercury-containing equipment, such as thermometers and gauges. Households and businesses may not dispose of these materials in the trash."
“Used and unwanted electronic equipment represents one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world and particularly in the United States. Electronic waste, or e-waste for short, is comprised of various types of computer, office, audio, and video equipment, including such items as computers, monitors, laptops, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, telephones, stereos, compact disk (CD) and digital video disk (DVD) players, CDs, DVDs, audio and video cassette recorders (VCRs), and audio and video cassette tapes. These items contain toxic materials such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PVC plastics, and brominated flame retardants. When disposed of in a landfill, these materials can contaminate soil and groundwater over time.
In an effort to address this issue, in January 2005 California became the first state in the nation to establish a funding system for the collection and recycling of certain types of e-waste. A fee is charged at the point of sale on computer monitors, laptops, televisions, and portable DVD players that contain a cathode ray tube (CRT) or liquid crystal display (LCD) and that have a video display screen measuring more than four inches diagonally.
