HD 1037 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to require producer responsibility for collection, reuse and recycling of discarded electronic products

This bill requires electronics manufacturers to pay for the recycling of specific discarded products like computers, TVs, printers, and gaming consoles. It applies to producers selling these items in Massachusetts, making them responsible for reimbursing collectors a set rate per pound for gathering these items from households, small businesses (with 10 or fewer employees), and schools. The law defines covered electronics broadly but excludes items like car parts, medical devices, phones, and appliances. Producers must fund collection and recycling under this system, shifting the financial burden from consumers or municipalities to manufacturers.
