Congressman recycles $10 e-waste bill - Jonathan Skillings
A congressman from California on Thursday introduced legislation aiming to promote a national infrastructure for computer recycling. The bill, H.R. 1165, would assess a fee of up to $10 on all retail sales of desktop PCs, notebooks and monitors. It is also intended to provide incentives for computer makers to take back their machines for recycling and reuse. The National Computer Recycling Act also would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to administer a grant program to help private organizations and state and local governments establish computer-recycling programs in the United States.
