DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY – ELECTRONIC PRODUCT RECYCLING
PROGRAM
Department of Ecology will be implementing a Collectors Electronic Product Recycling Program as a result of Washington’s Electronic Product Recycling rule (WAC 173-900) which requires manufacturers of certain electronic products sold in Washington State to set up a recycling system.
This would mean that the Waterville Recycling Center will once again be accepting electronics at a later date in the future, at no charge to the customer. In turn, the Town will be able to sell these recyclables at 9₵ per pound to help offset the cost of recycling such goods.
• Council voted to move forward on the new electronics recycling program on a motion by Koenig and a second by Olin. Unanimous vote.
