SALEM, OR – Electronics manufacturers pursuing individual or group recycling programs in compliance with Oregon's new electronics recycling law must submit plans by July 1.

The Oregon Electronics Recycling Law (ORS 495A.300-.365) mandates all manufacturers of CEDs (covered electronic devices) sold or offered for sale in the state must register with the Department of Environmental Quality and pay an annual registration fee to fund the program’s administrative costs. Manufacturers then choose to manage their own statewide collection programs or participate in a state contractor program that DEQ will establish.
 
The law covers desktop computers, portable computers, monitors and TVs. Manufacturers cover their own company-run program costs or pay a fee to participate in the state contractor program. All programs must be in operation by Jan. 1, and the disposal of CEDs is prohibited in Oregon as of Jan. 1, 2010. Furthermore, beginning Jan. 1, only registered brands are eligible for sale in or into the state.
