Electronic Recycling Legislation for Wisconsin
The State of Wisconsin E-Cycle Wisconsin Program (2009 Wisconsin Act 50) requires manufacturers of covered electronic devices (CEDs) whose products are sold in the state to help fund the collection and recycling of CEDs generated by Wisconsin covered entities. A manufacturer must annually fulfill their recycling obligation which is equal to 80% of the weight of CEDs they sold to Wisconsin covered entities. Manufacturers are required to register annually with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
