Agreement on Computer Recycling
Agreement on Computer Recycling
Responding to a growing problem of waste computer equipment, manufacturers and local governments have agreed in principle to set up a nationwide recycling program. Under the proposal, a fee — perhaps $25 or $30 — would be added to computer systems at the time of purchase. The collected money would finance a recycling program for computers and television sets. Most likely, the recycling would be handled by private rather than government organizations.
