New Yorkers can now recycle their electronics--computers, TVs, DVD players, etc.--at no charge. The Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act requires manufacturers to take back electronics--no matter who made it--for recycling whenever customers purchase a new product.
That means if someone is buying a new computer from one manufacturer, that company is required to accept the person's used computer, regardless of what brand it is. It must then recycle or reuse the products, and not dispose of them in landfill or hazardous waste sites, the way so much of our e-waste is.
