Covered Device Recycling Act
(Electronics recycling in Pennsylvania)
On January 24, 2013, the Pennsylvania Covered
Device Recycling Act (CDRA) went into full effect. From this date forward
electronics (televisions, computers, tablets, monitors, printers, audio
equipment, etc.) may no longer be disposed of as regular trash. These “covered” electronic devices must be
recycled. The attached CDRA fact sheet
summarizes the requirements for manufacturers, retailers, electronic recycling
facilities, consumers, businesses, landfills and waste haulers. More information about this law can be found
on the Electronics Recycling Management
Program link of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection:
