What government and industry are doing


There are currently no federal regulations that require electronics recycling. However, there are manufacturer, retailer, and state and local government initiatives underway. While government initiatives mainly apply to computers, computer monitors, televisions and cell phones, some initiatives also encompass other types of electronic devices. For resources on finding out the types of electronic devices accepted for recycling through public and private recycling programs, visit our Recycling section.
