Colorado lawmakers and the recycling industry are talking about keeping electronics out of the landfill and how recycling old computers, televisions and other electronics can create jobs.
Colorado lawmakers are also seeing the potential in helping carve another niche in the recycling industry, and they’ve introduced a measure they say will help make it happen by banning certain electronic products from going in landfills and directing the waste to be reused instead.
Lawmakers and representatives from the recycling industry brought bins filled with old faxes, printers, computers and televisions to the state Capitol on Wednesday to promote the bill, which passed the Senate and will be debated in the House in the coming weeks.
