Texas collects nearly 44 million pounds of e-scrap

摘要

In Texas, computer manufacturers have reported they collected more than 43.8 million pounds of electronics last year. Computer manufacturers are required by law to operate a take-back program for their products in the state. These companies can also voluntarily collect televisions, monitors and other electronics for recycling, which they can report to the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality, the entity that oversees the state's e-scrap law.
