Local Governments and Electronics Recycling Stakeholders of Western North
Carolina, <br>
<br>
The North Carolina General Assembly's Environmental Review Commission
(ERC) is considering legislation regarding electronics recycling. A
group of representatives from local governments, recycling organizations
and various associations has met to discuss the issues surrounding
e-waste and has drafted legislation proposing an Advanced Recycling Fee
that may be considered in the upcoming short session. As a point of
general reference, this legislation is somewhat similar to the existing
ADFs currently in existence for White Goods and Tires.<br>
<br>
Land-of-Sky Regional Council and the Carolina Recycling Association are
sponsoring a Western North Carolina Meeting for local governments and
other e-waste stakeholders to learn more about the proposed legislation
and to solicit questions and comments.<br>
<br>
The meeting will be held Monday, May 20 from 1-3 PM at the Land-of-Sky
Regional Council in Asheville, NC. Directions can be found on the LOSRC
Web site,

ron@landofsky.org, if you plan on attending this meeting.<br>
<br>
Please note there is a similar meeting being held in Durham on May
10th. That announcement is copied below.<br>
<br>
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to other WNC ARF stakeholders and
interested local governments.<br>
