Recently H.R. 2284, The Responsible Electronics Recycling Act of 2011 was reintroduced by Rep. Gene Green (TX-29) and Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-01) to prohibit the exportation of some electronics whose improper disposal may create environmental, health, or national security risks.
At CompuCycle, we support the continued growth of e-waste legislation. It is our sincerest hope that in the near future every recycler will have to responsibly recycle every piece of equipment, that no electronics will be allowed in a landfill and every person will understand the impact of irresponsible recycling on our planet and future generations.
