GLRPPR Sector Resource: Wisconsin Senate Bill 107

Title:
Wisconsin Senate Bill 107

Abstract:
Text of the pending Wisconsin e-waste law. This bill passed the WI Senate and has arrived in the Assembly. Would require manufacturers of select consumer electronics (computers, printers and video display devices, such as TVs or monitors) to collect and recycle 80 percent of the weight of sold devices beginning in September. Beginning in February 2010, retailers can't sell electronics made by manufacturers that are not registered with WDNR. Manufacturers failing to meet their targets would be subject to a shortfall fee after 2010. Those who exceed their goals may be eligible for recycling credits.
