Electronics Management
North Carolina General Statutes 130A-309.130 through 130A-309.142, "Discarded Computer Equipment and Television Management" establishes an electronics recycling program for the state of North Carolina with shared responsibility between computer manufacturers, television manufacturers, retailers, local and state government, and consumers. The Program's goal is to foster a statewide recycling infrastructure for these materials. In combination with this Program, the law bans televisions, computers, monitors, video display units, printers, scanners, scanner-fax machines, other devices designed to produce hard paper copies from a computer, and peripheral equipment, except keyboards and mice, from disposal in landfills.
