State E-Waste Legislation in the U.S.

Producer Responsibility Program

Connecticut has a ban on electronic devices including computers, laptops, computer monitors, televisions, printers and components or subassemblies of the aforementioned products. The ban became effective 1/1/2009.

State Operated Program

Manufacturers of covered electronic devices (CEDs) must participate in a state-wide electronics recycling program established by the CT DEEP to implement and finance the collection, transportation, and recycling of CEDs from Connecticut households. Municipalities in Connecticut are required to provide for the collection of Connecticut household-generated covered electronic devices (CEDs) in their communities. The CT DEEP approves the recyclers under the program.
