Electronic Scrap Recycling
Rulemaking Workgroup

 

The department is beginning the formal rulemaking process to implement provisions in Senate Bill 720, part of which is also known as the “Manufacturer Responsibility and Consumer Convenience Equipment Collection and Recovery Act.” This bill was passed in the 2008 legislative session and recently signed into law. The full text of Senate Bill 720 is available online at www.senate.mo.gov/08info/pdf-bill/tat/SB720.pdf PDF.

Senate Bill 720 states that computer manufacturers who sell their products in Missouri must have a recovery plan that specifies how computers and computer accessories will be collected and recycled or reused. The bill assigned many duties to electronics manufacturers, retailers and the department, one of which is for the department to promulgate rules by July 1, 2009. The department is asking for assistance from computer recyclers, retailers, manufacturers, local governments and consumers. 

For more information about the rulemaking workgroup or Senate Bill 720, contact Dennis Hansen at 573-751-2347 or 800-361-4827, or by e-mail.
