If I can’t throw my old television or old computer
out in the trash, what am I supposed to do
with these items?

Pennsylvania’s Covered Device Recycling Act, passed in 2010, enacts a ban on the disposal of elec-
tronic items, giving new responsibilities to individual consumers and small businesses.

The reason behind instituting electronic recycling is to prevent toxic and valuable materials from being
landfilled or shipped abroad where their use and disposal may pose a danger to the environment.
