Electronics Recycling Law Starts Wednesday
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin's new electronics recycling law takes effect Wednesday.
It bans the use of landfills or incinerators to dispose of old electronic devices, including televisions and computers. The ban also includes keyboards, speakers, flash drives and other computer accessories, as well as cell phones
.
The law covers everyone in Wisconsin, including schools, businesses and households.
Old electronic devices can be dropped off at specific recycling sites for a fee. The Journal Sentinel says the Department of Natural Resources has a list of those sites on its website.
