Free recycling of televisions, laptop and desktop
computers and monitors will be available in Clallam and Jefferson counties
starting Friday, thanks to the new E-Cycle Washington program.
That
means no one needs to throw away such gear and add to already-stuffed landfills,
said John Friederick of the Washington Materials Management & Financing
Authority, organizer of E-Cycle Washington.
Households, businesses,
school districts, government agencies and nonprofit groups can take advantage of
the free program.
The state Electronic Product Recycling Act requires
electronics makers to pay for E-Cycle Washington, and the companies collecting
equipment must adhere to state Department of Ecology standards for responsible
recycling.
