CONCORD, NH -- A state committee will soon contemplate a bill banning the disposal of electronics waste into landfills.
The proposed bill is expected to be introduced this month by Rep. Tara Sad, chairman of the Environment and Agriculture Committee, and would be sent to either to the House Environment and
Agricultural Committee or the Science and Technology Committee, the local Union Leader newspaper reported.
Sad cited landfill capacity, the rise of corporate takeback programs and "e-waste" recycling firms, and moral obligations that would keep the US from shipping waste to third-world nations.
