Updates & Improvements to Hawai`i Electronic Device Recycling and Recovery Signed into Law by Gov. Ige

The original version of the act, in effect from 2010, set recycling targets only for televisions and provided limited funding for electronic device recycling targets for manufacturers.
     This revision provides updates and improvements that benefit Hawai`i Island, including: Establishing recycling (and reuse) goals for manufacturers of electronic devices, based on their sales from two years' prior; Requiring manufacturers to fully fund their recycling plans; Strengthens convenient collection at no cost to device owners, including monthly collection in Kona and Hilo. Read the full text of Act 151. For more information on the County's restructured free residential electronic waste collection program, visit the County's website.
     Note: Mr. K's electronic waste recycling program continues as usual, for residents as well as for businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.
