Clearly Documented Collection GoalsManufacturers Often Adhere Strictly to State Laws and Will not do any More than RequiredSome States Whose Laws Cover Cost of Collecting e-Waste Have Higher Collection NumbersGoals for e-Waste Collection Should be Set High and They Should be in the Form of MinimumsManufacturers Seem to Prefer Collection in Urban Areas Over Rural AreasThe Level of Recycling is Enhanced by Bans on LandfillsEnvironmentally Responsible Handling of e-Waste is Ensured by Proactive Decision Making on the Part of the Individual StatesRemember: Despite the Obvious Advantages of Recycling, Reusing a Product is Always Preferable to Recycling itConsumers Would Like to Bring Back "all" Electronic Products not Just a Few Selected OnesProduct Takeback Programs Should
