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 manufacturer’s 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.

The state goals are arrived based on manufacturer’s 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.

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 county’s waste management division.
