A bill is moving through the Senate that would allow Minnesotans to dispose of electronic waste free of charge and keep it out of state landfills. The bill would eliminate the disposal of electronic products through curbside solid waste or recycling programs. Currently, Minnesota generates 266 million pounds of e-waste each year. Only 24 percent of it is recycled properly. The bill would allow places for Minnesotans to dispose of these electronics at no cost to them. The bill is heading to the State and Local Government Committee.
