• Plan to provide information to households on their electronics recycling options, including your own electronics recycling services, available manufacturer programs, retail programs, and charitable outlets for good, working electronics materials.
• Session Law 2010-67 offers eligible local governments opportunities for funding to operate public electronics recycling programs.
• Convenience Contract 926a offers a multiple-vendor, low-cost option for local governments to recycle electronic equipment.
