Electronic Recycling Legislation for Minnesota
The State of Minnesota Electronics Recycling Act (Minnesota Statute 115A.1310 – 115A.1330) requires manufacturers of video display devices (VDD) whose products are sold in the state to collect and recycle covered electronic devices (CEDs) generated by Minnesota consumers to fulfill their recycling obligation. A manufacturer’s annual recycling obligation is based on their market share of the total weight of VDDs that was sold to Minnesota households. Manufacturers are required to register annually with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
