Under a new law signed by Governor David Paterson, companies that sell electronics are required to accept old and used products for recycling.
They also have to pay a fine if they fail to meet recycle.
The so-called "e-waste" law also increases some fees for generating hazardous waste.
New York is the 22nd state to enact an electronic waste recycling law.
There is currently no uniform federal law.
It takes effect next April.
Questions:
1) Where did this story take place?
2) When did this story take place?
3) How much will it cost for us to recycle our computers under this new law?
4) Who made this new law?
5) What will happen to companies if they don't recycle?
6) How many states have this law so far?
Info from NY1.
