Under House Bill 2626, it is illegal to dispose of 1.) televisions, 2.) computers (CPUs and laptops), and 3.) monitors at any Oregon landfill.<\/div>\n
If any of the above items are found in OSU waste, we may be fined and be liable for the cost of removing the items from the landfill.<\/div>\n
Under the Oregon E-Cycles program, manufacturers are required to provide free recycling for the a minimum of seven items of the above at a time. In January 2015, printers, keyboards, and mice will be added to the Oregon e-cycles program.<\/div>\n
