Wisconsin’s electronics recycling law has achieved many successes since it took effect in 2010, most notably recycling nearly 225 million pounds of electronics and expanding electronics recycling access for Wisconsin residents. Wisconsin has been a leader among state electronics recycling programs for the number of available collection sites and weight of electronics collected per person, and many stakeholders have praised the structure and administration of the program by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Since 2010, however, both the nature of electronics being sold and the markets for materials electronics contain have changed dramatically. Due to the popularity of smaller and lighter devices and manufacturers’ design improvements to reduce product weight, the weight-based manufacturer recycling targets, which are set by a statutory formula, have declined by more than 10 million pounds (32 percent) over the last four years. Dwindling markets for the leaded glass in cathode ray tubes (CRTs), along with lower commodity prices, have increased recyclers’ per pound costs, but manufacturer payments have not always risen to match. As a result, unless manufacturer recycling targets are updated, the collection and recycling system funded by manufacturers will continue to fall short of the electronics recycling demand of Wisconsin households and schools, particularly in rural areas. Since 2013, the number of registered electronics collection sites has dropped by 25 percent, and collectors are passing higher recycling costs on to consumers, meaning there are fewer convenient and low-cost recycling options throughout the state. The DNR has seen several cases in the last two years of irresponsible recycling. These cases threaten the environment and are driven in part by the higher costs for responsible recycling. These trends are increasing the costs shouldered by taxpayers to either collect electronics or clean up dumped devices. In summary, the basic structure of the law is sound, and there are many successes to celebrate. However, changes will be needed to maintain Wisconsin residents’ access to affordable electronics recycling—particularly in rural areas.
