USA - Oregon - Design for Environment
On May 15, 2007, the Oregon House of Representatives passed HB2626, which would establish a state wide recycling program for the collection, transportation and recycling of “covered electronic devices” (CEDs). CEDs are defined as any computer monitors, televisions, and portable computers with a viewable area greater than four inches measured diagonally. CEDs do not include any part of a motor vehicle, equipment designed or intended for use in industrial, commercial, or medical equipment, clothing washers or dryers, refrigerators, microwave or conventional ovens, dishwashers, or air conditioners.
