1    AN ACT concerning safety.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act
5is amended by changing Sections 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 55, 60,
665, 80, and 95 as follows:
 
7    (415 ILCS 150/5)
8    Sec. 5. Findings and purpose.
9    (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following:
10        (1) Electronic products are the fastest growing
11    portion of the solid waste stream. In 2007, 3,000,000 2005,
12    2,600,000 tons of electronic products became obsolete yet
13    only 14% 13% of those products were recycled.
14        (2) Many electronic products contain lead, mercury,
15    cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and other materials that
16    pose environmental and health risks that must be managed.
17        (3) Obsolete Many obsolete electronic products can be
18    recycled or refurbished for reuse and then returned to the
19    economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or
20    products.
21        (4) Electronic products contain metals, plastics, and
22    leaded glass, and other valuable materials that may be
23    resold for reuse in new products have resale value. The

 

 

SB2106 Enrolled- 2 -LRB097 07435 JDS 47544 b

1    reuse of these materials components conserves natural
2    resources and energy. The reuse of these materials also ,
3    and the reuse also reduces air and water pollution and the
4    air pollution associated with greenhouse gas emissions.
5        (5) The A management of obsolete residential products
6    is necessary to prioritize place the reuse and recycling of
7    these obsolete residential electronic products as the
8    preferred management strategy over incineration and
9    landfill disposal.
10        (6) The 2010 Recycling Economic Information Study
11    Update for Illinois estimates that the total economic
12    impact of recycling and reusing obsolete electronic
13    products resulted in the creation of nearly 8,000 jobs and
14    $622 million in annual receipts. The Illinois Recycling
15    Economic Information Study of 2001 estimates that the total
16    economic impact of establishing statewide recycling and
17    reuse programs for residential electronic products may
18    result in the creation of nearly 4,000 new jobs and $740
19    million in annual receipts.
20        (7) The State-appointed Computer Equipment Disposal
21    and Recycling Commission issued a final report in May 2006
22    recommending legislative, regulatory, or other actions to
23    properly address the recycling and reuse of obsolete
24    residential electronic products.
25    (b) The purpose of this Act is to set forth procedures by
26which the recycling and processing for reuse of covered

20    (e) Beginning April 1, 2012 but no later than December 31,
212013, the Illinois Pollution Control Board (Board) is
22authorized to review temporary CED landfill ban waiver
23petitions by county governments or municipal joint action
24agencies (action agencies) and determine whether the
25respective county's or action agency's jurisdiction may be
26granted a temporary CED landfill ban waiver due to a lack of

 

 

SB2106 Enrolled- 58 -LRB097 07435 JDS 47544 b

1funds and a lack of collection opportunities to collect CEDs
2and EEDs within the county's or action agency's jurisdiction.
3If the Board grants a waiver under this subsection (e),
4subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall not apply to CEDs
5and EEDs that are taken out of service from residences within
6the jurisdiction of the county or action agency receiving the
7waiver and disposed of during the remainder of the program year
8in which the petition is filed.
9        (1) The petition from the county or action agency shall
10    include the following:
11            (A) documentation of the county's or action
12        agency's attempts to gain funding, as well as the total
13        funding obtained, for the collection of CEDs and EEDs
14        in its jurisdiction from manufacturers or other units
15        of government in the State; and
16            (B) an assessment of other collection
17        opportunities in the county's or action agency's
18        jurisdiction demonstrating insufficient capacity for
19        the anticipated volume of CEDs and EEDs for the
20        remainder of the program year in which the petition is
21        being filed.
22        (2) In addition to the criteria listed in item (1), the
23    Board shall consider the following additional criteria
24    when reviewing a petition:
25            (A) total weight of CEDs and EEDs collected in the
26        county's or action agency's jurisdiction during all

 

 

SB2106 Enrolled- 59 -LRB097 07435 JDS 47544 b

3        county's or action agency's jurisdiction during the
4        year in which the petition is filed; and
5            (C) the projected difference in weight between
6        prior program years and the year in which the petition
7        is filed.
8        (3) Within 60 days after the filing of the petition
9    with the Board, the Board shall determine, based on the
10    criteria in items (1) and (2), whether a temporary CED
11    landfill ban waiver shall be granted to the respective
12    county or action agency for the remainder of the program
13    year in which the petition is filed. The Board's decision
14    to grant such a waiver shall be based upon a showing by
15    clear and convincing evidence that a county or action
16    agency has a lack of funds and its respective jurisdiction
17    lacks sufficient collection opportunities to collect CEDs
18    and EEDs. If the Board denies the petition for a landfill
19    ban waiver, the Board's order shall be final and
20    immediately appealable to the circuit court having
21    jurisdiction over the petitioner.
22        (4) Within 5 days after granting a temporary CED
23    landfill ban waiver, the Board shall provide written notice
24    to the Agency of the Board's decision. The notice shall be
25    provided at least 15 days prior to the waiver taking
26    effect.

5    waste disposal that a waiver has been granted for the
6    remainder of the program year. The notification shall be
7    provided to the solid waste haulers and landfill operators
8    at least 15 days prior to the waiver taking effect.
