Landfill Ban on Electronics: What
Recyclers (Collectors) Need to Know
Senate Bill 398, passed
during the 2010 legislative session, prohibits the land
filling of covered electronic devices (CEDs) in West
Virginia landfills beginning January 1, 2011.
CEDs include televisions,
computers or video display devices with a screen that is
greater than four inches measured diagonally. "Covered
electronic device" does not include a video display device
that is part of a motor vehicle or that is contained within
a household appliance or commercial, industrial or medical
equipment.
While collectors of
recyclable materials have no specific requirements under
this legislation, they are encouraged to consider adding
electronics to their list of acceptable recyclable items,
where practicable.
Grant funds may be
available for the purpose of initiating new electronics
recycling programs. For information on recycling grant
programs visit
