15    demonstrates the completion of an environmental health and
16    safety audit completed and certified by a competent
17    internal and external auditor annually. A competent
18    auditor is an individual who, through professional
19    training or work experience, is appropriately qualified to
20    evaluate the environmental health and safety conditions,
21    practices, and procedures of the facility. Documentation
22    of auditors' qualifications must be available for

8    hazardous components and materials from the facility to the
9    destination facilities and documentation, such as
10    contracts, stating how the destination facility processes
11    the materials received. No recycler may send, either
12    directly or through intermediaries, hazardous wastes to
13    solid non-hazardous waste landfills or to non-hazardous
14    waste incinerators for disposal or energy recovery. For the
15    purpose of these guidelines, smelting of hazardous wastes
16    to recover metals for reuse in conformance with all
17    applicable laws and regulations is not considered disposal
18    or energy recovery.
19        (11) Recyclers must use a regularly implemented and
20    documented monitoring and record-keeping program that
21    tracks total inbound residential CED material weights and
22    total subsequent outbound weights to each destination,
23    injury and illness rates, and compliance with applicable
24    permit parameters including monitoring of effluents and
25    emissions. Recyclers must maintain contracts or other
26    documents, such as sales receipts, suitable to

2    downstream market or uses for designated electronics,
3    which may include recycling or reclamation processes such
4    as smelting to recover metals for reuse; and (ii) that any
5    residuals from recycling or reclamation processes, or
6    both, are properly handled and managed to maximize reuse
7    and recycling of materials to the extent practical.
8        (12) Recyclers must employ industry-accepted
9    procedures for the destruction or sanitization of data on
10    hard drives and other data storage devices. Acceptable
11    guidelines for the destruction or sanitization of data are
12    contained in the National Institute of Standards and
13    Technology's Guidelines for Media Sanitation or those
14    guidelines certified by the National Association for
15    Information Destruction.
16        (13) No recycler may employ prison labor in any
17    operation related to the collection, transportation, and
18    recycling of CEDs. No recycler may employ any third party
19    that uses or subcontracts for the use of prison labor.
20    (e) Each recycler shall, during each calendar year,
21transport from each site that the recycler uses to manage
22residential CEDs not less than 75% of the total weight of
23residential CEDs present at the site during the preceding

6    Sec. 50. Recycler and refurbisher registration.
7    (a) Prior to January 1 of each program year, through
8program year 2018, each recycler and refurbisher must register
9with the Agency and submit a registration fee pursuant to
10subsection (b) for that program year. Registration must be on
11forms and in a format prescribed by the Agency and shall
12include, but not be limited to, the address of each location
13where the recycler or refurbisher manages CEDs or EEDs and
14identification of each location at which the recycler or
15refurbisher accepts CEDs or EEDs from a residence.
16    (b) The registration fee for program year 2010 is $2,000.
17For program year 2011, if a recycler's or refurbisher's annual
18combined total weight of CEDs and EEDs is less than 1,000 tons
19per year, the registration fee shall be $500. For program year
202012 and for all subsequent program years, through program year
212018, both registration fees shall be increased each year by an
22inflation factor determined by the annual Implicit Price
23Deflator for Gross National Product as published by the U.S.
24Department of Commerce in its Survey of Current Business. The
25inflation factor must be calculated each year by dividing the

 

 

10000SB1417sam001- 72 -LRB100 09551 MJP 26012 a

1latest published annual Implicit Price Deflator for Gross
2National Product by the annual Implicit Price Deflator for
3Gross National Product for the previous year. The inflation
4factor must be rounded to the nearest 1/100th, and the
5resulting registration fee must be rounded to the nearest whole
6dollar. No later than October 1 of each program year, through
7October 1, 2017, the Agency shall post on its website the
8registration fee for the next program year.
9    (c) Through program year 2018, no No person may act as a
10recycler or a refurbisher of CEDs for a manufacturer obligated
11to meet goals under this Act unless the recycler or refurbisher
12is registered with the Agency and has paid the registration fee
13as required under this Section. Beginning in program year 2016,
14and through program year 2018, all recycling or refurbishing
15facilities used by collectors of CEDs and EEDs shall be
16accredited by the Responsible Recycling (R2) Practices or
17e-Stewards certification programs or any other equivalent
18certification programs recognized by the United States
19Environmental Protection Agency. Manufacturers of CEDs and
20EEDs shall ensure that recycling or refurbishing facilities
21used as part of their recovery programs meet this requirement.
22    (c-5) Through program year 2018, a A registered recycler or
23refurbisher of CEDs and EEDs for a manufacturer obligated to
24meet goals under this Act may not charge individual consumers
25or units of local government acting as collectors a fee to
26recycle or refurbish CEDs and EEDs, unless the recycler or

 

 

10000SB1417sam001- 73 -LRB100 09551 MJP 26012 a

1refurbisher provides (i) a financial incentive, such as a
2coupon, that is of greater or equal value to the fee being
3charged or (ii) premium service, such as curbside collection,
4home pick-up, or similar methods of collection. Local units of
5government serving as collectors of CEDs and EEDs shall not
6charge a manufacturer for collection costs and shall offer the
7manufacturer or its representative all CEDs and EEDs collected
8by the local government at no cost. Nothing in this Act
9requires a local unit of government to serve as a collector.
10    (c-10) Nothing in this Act prohibits any waste hauler from
11entering into a contractual agreement with a unit of local
12government to establish a collection program for the recycling
13or reuse of CEDs or EEDs, including services such as curbside
14collection, home pick-up, drop-off locations, or similar
15methods of collection.

13    environmental and other costs of the closure of the
14    recycler or refurbisher's facility, including cleanup of
15    stockpiled equipment and materials.
16        (7) Recyclers and refurbishers must apply due
17    diligence principles to the selection of facilities to
18    which components and materials (such as plastics, metals,
19    and circuit boards) from CEDs and EEDs are sent for reuse
20    and recycling.
21        (8) Recyclers and refurbishers must establish a
22    documented environmental management system that is
23    appropriate in level of detail and documentation to the

10000SB1417sam001- 76 -LRB100 09551 MJP 26012 a

1        (9) Recyclers and refurbishers must use the
2    appropriate equipment for the proper processing of
3    incoming materials as well as controlling environmental
4    releases to the environment. The dismantling operations
5    and storage of CED and EED components that contain
6    hazardous substances must be conducted indoors and over
7    impervious floors. Storage areas must be adequate to hold
8    all processed and unprocessed inventory. When heat is used
9    to soften solder and when CED and EED components are
10    shredded, operations must be designed to control indoor and
11    outdoor hazardous air emissions.
12        (10) Recyclers and refurbishers must establish a
13    system for identifying and properly managing components
14    (such as circuit boards, batteries, CRTs, and mercury
15    phosphor lamps) that are removed from CEDs and EEDs during

17    manage all hazardous and other components requiring
18    special handling from CEDs and EEDs consistent with
19    federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Recyclers
20    and refurbishers must provide visible tracking (such as
21    hazardous waste manifests or bills of lading) of hazardous
22    components and materials from the facility to the
23    destination facilities and documentation (such as
24    contracts) stating how the destination facility processes
25    the materials received. No recycler or refurbisher may
26    send, either directly or through intermediaries, hazardous

 

 

10000SB1417sam001- 77 -LRB100 09551 MJP 26012 a

1    wastes to solid waste (non-hazardous waste) landfills or to
2    non-hazardous waste incinerators for disposal or energy
3    recovery. For the purpose of these guidelines, smelting of
4    hazardous wastes to recover metals for reuse in conformance
5    with all applicable laws and regulations is not considered
6    disposal or energy recovery.
7        (11) Recyclers and refurbishers must use a regularly
8    implemented and documented monitoring and record-keeping
9    program that tracks inbound CED and EED material weights
10    (total) and subsequent outbound weights (total to each
11    destination), injury and illness rates, and compliance
12    with applicable permit parameters including monitoring of
13    effluents and emissions. Recyclers and refurbishers must
14    maintain contracts or other documents, such as sales
15    receipts, suitable to demonstrate: (i) the reasonable
16    expectation that there is a downstream market or uses for
17    designated electronics (which may include recycling or
18    reclamation processes such as smelting to recover metals
19    for reuse); and (ii) that any residuals from recycling or
20    reclamation processes, or both, are properly handled and
21    managed to maximize reuse and recycling of materials to the
22    extent practical.
23        (12) Recyclers and refurbishers must comply with
24    federal and international law and agreements regarding the
25    export of used products or materials. In the case of
26    exports of CEDs and EEDs, recyclers and refurbishers must

 

 

10000SB1417sam001- 78 -LRB100 09551 MJP 26012 a

1    comply with applicable requirements of the U.S. and of the
2    import and transit countries and must maintain proper
3    business records documenting its compliance. No recycler
4    or refurbisher may establish or use intermediaries for the
5    purpose of circumventing these U.S. import and transit
6    country requirements.
7        (13) Recyclers and refurbishers that conduct
8    transactions involving the transboundary shipment of used
9    CEDs and EEDs shall use contracts (or the equivalent
10    commercial arrangements) made in advance that detail the
11    quantity and nature of the materials to be shipped. For the
12    export of materials to a foreign country (directly or
13    indirectly through downstream market contractors): (i) the
14    shipment of intact televisions and computer monitors
15    destined for reuse must include only whole products that
16    are tested and certified as being in working order or
17    requiring only minor repair (e.g. not requiring the
18    replacement of circuit boards or CRTs), must be destined
19    for reuse with respect to the original purpose, and the
20    recipient must have verified a market for the sale or
21    donation of such product for reuse; (ii) the shipments of
22    CEDs and EEDs for material recovery must be prepared in a
23    manner for recycling, including, without limitation,
24    smelting where metals will be recovered, plastics recovery
25    and glass-to-glass recycling; or (iii) the shipment of CEDs
26    and EEDs are being exported to companies or facilities that

 

 

10000SB1417sam001- 79 -LRB100 09551 MJP 26012 a

1    are owned or controlled by the original equipment
2    manufacturer.
3        (14) Recyclers and refurbishers must maintain the
4    following export records for each shipment on file for a
5    minimum of 3 years: (i) the facility name and the address
6    to which shipment is exported; (ii) the shipment contents
7    and volumes; (iii) the intended use of contents by the
8    destination facility; (iv) any specification required by
9    the destination facility in relation to shipment contents;
10    (v) an assurance that all shipments for export, as
11    applicable to the CED manufacturer, are legal and satisfy
12    all applicable laws of the destination country.
13        (15) Recyclers and refurbishers must employ
14    industry-accepted procedures for the destruction or
15    sanitization of data on hard drives and other data storage
16    devices. Acceptable guidelines for the destruction or
17    sanitization of data are contained in the National
18    Institute of Standards and Technology's Guidelines for
19    Media Sanitation or those guidelines certified by the
20    National Association for Information Destruction;
21        (16) No recycler or refurbisher may employ prison labor
22    in any operation related to the collection,
23    transportation, recycling, and refurbishment of CEDs and
24    EEDs. No recycler or refurbisher may employ any third party
25    that uses or subcontracts for the use of prison labor.
