New Jersey

The State of New Jersey has enacted New Jersey’s Electronic Waste Management Act (N.J.S.A.13:1E-99.94 et seq.) that requires manufacturers of covered electronic devices (televisions, portable, desktop or personal computers, computer monitors, desktop printers, and desktop fax machines), whose products are sold in the State to participate in a recycling program. Manufacturers are responsible for collecting and recycling covered electronic devices from households, small businesses, government, and schools. Either individually, or as part of a group, manufacturers must establish, conduct and manage a plan to collect, transport and recycle covered devices. Reverse Logistics Group Americas (RLGA) provides a group plan in compliance with the Electronic Waste Management Act.

The Act also requires that costs to recycle CED’s shall not be passed on to NJ consumers. A consumer who cannot get to a collection site or a consumer with a bulky (50 pounds in weight or heavier) and/or unwieldy covered electronic devices, including, but not limited to, flat screen televisions with screens greater than 40” measured diagonally, and projection televisions may contact RLGA at (866) 337‑1078 to arrange for a no-cost collection from their residence.
