Vermont has finished the first year of the state's electronic waster recycling program with strong results.

Think back to the number of cell phones you’ve gone through over the last 10 years or so. That’s just a tiny fraction of the electronic waste Vermonters throw out each year. The state has just concluded its first year of an electronics recycling program, and diverted 4.8 million pounds of electronic waste from landfills into a recycling program.

Get your old, dusty computers and other outdated electronic equipment out of the attic or basement. A new E-recycling program for the state of Vermont has gone into effect. Under a new law, Vermonters are now able to recycle their so-called E-waste for free across the state.
