Electronic Recycling Law: Beginning January 1, 2012 landfills are prohibited from knowingly accepting any CEDs for disposal. This includes televisions, computers, printers, and computer monitors (both residential and non-residential). The burning or incineration of televisions, computers, printers and computer monitors would also be prohibited. Public Act 95-0959 Signed into law on Sept. 17, 2008 creates the Electronics Products Recycling and Reuse Act. Requires electronics manufacturers to collect and recycle or process for reuse residential televisions, printers, computer monitors, computers, laptop computers and printers (collectively known as "covered electronics devices," or CEDs), and other "eligible electronics devices" (EEDs) at no charge to consumers.
