U.S.-NEW YORK STATE-E-WASTE RECYCLING LAW-TAKE EFFECT
(110404) -- NEW YORK, April 4, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Working staff clear up the E-wastes sent by residents in New York, the United States, April 3, 2011.
A state law took effect on April 1 requiring electronic manufacturers to make it free and convenient for New York residents to recycle their old or broken computers, television sets and gadgets. The new law mandates that manufacturers pay for the collection, handling and recycling of electronic products to keep materials that may contain toxic metals like lead and mercury from going into the trash, and later into incinerators and landfills. Part of the goal is to make it simpler for consumers to prepare for 2015, when it will be illegal to throw electronics into the regular trash. (Xinhua/Wu Kaixiang) (lyx)

The new law mandates that manufacturers pay for the collection, handling and recycling of electronic products to keep materials that may contain toxic metals like lead and mercury from going into the trash, and later into incinerators and landfills. Part of the goal is to make it simpler for consumers to prepare for 2015, when it will be illegal to throw electronics into the regular trash. (Xinhua/Wu Kaixiang) (lyx)

U.S.-NEW YORK STATE-E-WASTE RECYCLING LAW-TAKE EFFECT
(110404) -- NEW YORK, April 4, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Working staff clear up the E-wastes sent by residents in New York, the United States, April 3, 2011.
A state law took effect on April 1 requiring electronic manufacturers to make it free and convenient for New York residents to recycle their old or broken computers, television sets and gadgets. The new law mandates that manufacturers pay for the collection, handling and recycling of electronic products to keep materials that may contain toxic metals like lead and mercury from going into the trash, and later into incinerators and landfills. Part of the goal is to make it simpler for consumers to prepare for 2015, when it will be illegal to throw electronics into the regular trash. (Xinhua/Wu Kaixiang) (lyx)
