Electronic Recycling Legislation for West Virginia
The West Virginia Covered Electronic Device Take Back Program (Senate Bill No 746) incentivizes manufacturers of covered electronic devices (CEDs) to implement a take-back program to collect and recycle, refurbish or reuse CEDs of their brand at no charge to the consumer. Manufacturers that implement a take-back program must provide a reasonably convenient method of recycling to consumers in the state. Manufacturers may choose not to enforce a take-back program and are then required to pay higher annual registration fees. Manufacturers are required to register annually with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection.
