WASHINGTON’S NEW ELECTRONIC PRODUCT RECYCLING LAW
The 2006 Washington State Legislature passed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6428
establishing an electronic product recycling law for the state.
The law requires manufacturers of electronic products to provide free recycling
services throughout the state no later than January 1, 2009. These services are
to be provided to households, small businesses, small local governments, charities
and school districts.
Electronic products that are included are televisions, computers, computer monitors
and laptop and portable computers.
