Maine Moves To Require Cell Phone Recycling

Maine is now moving to require cell phone recycling, according to legislation submitted by Rep. Chris Babbidge, D-Kennebunk. The issue is scheduled to be taken up in hearings this week. [TechWeb]

"A member of Maine's legislative Natural Resources Committee, Babbidge has said it will be beneficial to keep the toxic chemicals found in cell phones out of the environment. The state has been a bellwether in protecting the environment. In April 2004, Maine established a program to safely dispose of computer equipment."
