ILLINOIS ELECTRONIC RECYCLING LAW REFORM LOOKS
MORE PROMISING

In a related incident, Will County had announced
in the month of January that it would be reducing
the number of collection events to two events per
day from the existing six events. Due to such
actions, some environmental experts felt that
there would be a drastic cut in funding programs
that serve the Illinois electronic recycling
program.

The lawmakers have introduced House Bill 1455 in
Springfield that allows modifications in the
formula used for calculating the program funding
amount. This formula is usually used by the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to
arrive at the funding amount needed for running
the in-demand electronics recycling program.

• The state goals are arrived based on
  manufacturers recycling weight goals. Currently
  the recycling weight goal is set at 50 of the
  weight of electronic products sold by
  manufacturers. As per the proposed new goal that
  would be added as part of the house bill, the
  recycling weight goal would be increased to 80
  of the weight of electronic products sold by
  manufacturers.

80 Electronics Weight Goal Agreed?

• Manufacturers Association were not in the favor
  of the steep hike from 50 to 100. Both parties
  then sat over the table and arrived at a
  compromise goal value of 80 of the weight of the
  electronics products sold. Some lobbyists feel
  that the bill might undergo further modifications
  as the manufacturers are planning to include more
  of their ideas in the future.

Private Waste Management Service Provider Overhaul

•  According to the proposed amendment the hauling
  service providers would be given the liberty to
  charge homeowners if the homeowners decide to
  dispose the electronic waste using their own
  electronic recycling company. The handling of the
  electronic waste would be transferred to the
  electronic recycling company referred to the
  homeowner from the countys waste management
  division.
