A proposed plan is looking to add recycling fees of $10 for TVs and up to $13 for computers to encourage Ontario residents to keep electronics out of landfills.

Your computer represents a big environmental impact, but do you know if yours is better than the other guy’s? If it’s an Apple, probably not.

A proposed Washington state plan would require electronics manufacturers to obtain approval for their collection and disposal plans. However, Seattle-based Basel Action Network urges the state for stronger actions as the plan is “fuzzy.”

Computers, televisions and cell phones brought to facilities to be recycled in the United States usually end up overseas, activists say. This e-waste then gets disassembled by workers in China, Inida and Nigeria, exposing them to a toxic mix of chemicals.
