Arkansas § 8-6-613 - Computer and electronic equipment recycling program.

§ 8-6-613. Computer and electronic equipment recycling program.

A program for the recycling of computer and electronic equipment is created. The General Assembly finds that: Computer and electronic equipment solid waste are among the fastest growing and most toxic segments of Arkansas's solid waste stream; and There are recycling options to address this problem, and Arkansas solid waste districts and local governments and their delegated authorities and agents should develop solid waste management plans, programs, and facilities that integrate computer and electronic equipment recycling as a functional part of the solid waste management system. Each regional solid waste management board that is required to submit or has submitted a regional solid waste management plan under § 8-6-1904 or a solid waste management plan developed under the Arkansas Solid Waste Management Act, § 8-6-201 et seq., and receives funding under this subchapter shall operate a solid waste management system that includes a computer and electronic equipment recycling program. The Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission may adopt rules necessary to implement an effective computer and electronic equipment recycling program.
