Expands recycling of electronic products

This bill expands New York's electronic waste recycling program by requiring manufacturers to provide more detailed information to consumers about how to return old electronics for recycling. It mandates that manufacturers ensure convenient collection options are available to at least 90% of residents within a 15-mile radius of their homes, using a mix of permanent drop-off sites and community collection events. The legislation also strengthens public education efforts by requiring manufacturers to maintain websites, toll-free numbers, and product manuals that explain the recycling process and data security procedures. All costs for collecting, transporting, and recycling these electronic items must be covered by manufacturers, ensuring that regular consumers and municipalities do not pay fees for these services.
