February 15, 2008 (ENS) - New York City Council passed legislation Wednesday that makes New York the first major municipality in the nation to tackle the rising tide of discarded electronics in the waste stream.
Manufacturers of computers, TVs and MP3 players will have to take responsibility for the collection of their own electronic products when New Yorkers want to dispose of them.
Nearly two dozen environmental groups support the measure, including the LCV.
