Today, Environment Minister John Gerretsen is signing a regulation to put into place a new electronics recycling program. This new program will include per item fees for all televisions and computers sold in Ontario. This is the first step of a new program that will hopefully see manufacturers make greener and easier to recycle products.
Producers and importers will have to start paying the fees. $10 for TV's and $2 - $13 for computers, beginning April 1, 2009. All fees collected will go to an organization established by Waste Division Ontario and will be used to fund the collection and recycling of the products from hundreds of drop-off locations which will be established across the province.
