Recycling in West Virginia
In addition, businesses with e-waste
problems can use the West Virginia Materials Exchange. It's
an online venue that facilitates the business-to-business
exchange of materials that are no longer needed but
expensive to dispose of. Just fill out a short registration
form and you can enter as many listings as you like. It just
takes a few minutes and it's easy. The Exchange is offered
free of charge by the West Virginia Solid Waste Management
Board as a community service.
Interested in
starting a recycling business? Contact the WV DEP
REAP Recycling Assistance Grant Program. Funding is
available to help new recycling businesses get
started. It's a great way to go green. You can
find information on the REAP program on the "Reap
Recycling Assistance" link on this page.
Local Government
Many of the state's 50 local Solid Waste Authorities and
other local government entities and nonprofit's collect
electronics for recycling, either in a one or two day
collection drive or the collect continuously.
If your civic minded
and interested in helping the community deal with
it's e-waste problems, check out the Covered
Electronic Devices Grant (CED) Program. This program
is operated by the Department of Environmental
Protection's REAP section and distributes funding to
local government entities to sponsor end-of-life
electronics collection efforts. The funding for this
program is collected from manufactures who
market their products in West Virginia and who pay
annual registration fees to the state.
Manufactures that have approved electronics
recycling programs which are available to West
Virginians pay a smaller fee than those that don't.
If you need to know which manufactures are in
compliance with the mandates of the program, click
on the "CED Manufacture Compliance" link on this
page for a list of manufactures that are in
compliance with program rules.
If you
are a state or local government agency, you probably
have access to the services of the WV Purchasing Division. The
division is prepared to help you with your
e-waste needs.
