Fact Sheet (PDF) Draft Rule (PDF)
Concise Summary:
This rule-making proposes minor revision to make the regulation consistent with changes made to 38 M.R.S.A. §1610 as amended by Maine’s Legislature in 2011. Additional proposed provisions clarify the categorization of covered electronic devices, provide television and game console manufacturers with the opportunity to claim recycling credits for covered electronic devices they collect and recycle from covered entities in Maine, and improve data reporting by recyclers approved by Maine DEP to participate in the extended producer responsibility program for electronic waste.
