Electronic Recycling Legislation for Vermont
The Vermont E-Cycles Program (Title 10, Chapter 166) requires manufacturers of covered electronic devices (CEDs) to participate in a recycling program. Manufacturers can join the state-run Standard Plan or may choose to implement their opt-out plan to collect, transport, and recycle CEDs. Manufacturers operating an opt-out plan are responsible for fulfilling their electronic waste program goals based on their market share. Manufacturers participating in the state-run Standard Plan pay an implementation fee based on their market share and the total cost to operate the program. Manufacturers are required to register annually with the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
