New "E-Waste" Law
There are two important parts to the Vermont's new e-waste (used electronics) law which took effect in 2011.  The first part is the landfill ban on many electronic devices as of January 1, 2011.  The second is the FREE recycling of certain e-waste (computers, computer monitors, CRT-containing devices, printers, and TVs) as of July 1, 2011. For the details, click on the Department of Environmental Conservation's website.  Vermont is the twenty-first state in the country to enact an e-waste law.  The new program is open to Vermont residents, charities, school districts, and small businesses with up to ten employees. In our District, the Cavendish, Ludlow, Rockingham, Springfield, and Weathersfield transfer stations have registered as free collection sites. WinCycle in Windsor also takes computers at no cost to Vermont residents and you can buy a refurbished computer at their store.
