Electronics Recycling in Texas

Texas has implemented electronics recycling laws that cover computers and televisions, though the approach differs from a centrally run state program. Under Texas law, manufacturers of computer equipment have been required since 2008 to offer free recycling for their products (Texas Computer TakeBack Law), and a similar law for television manufacturers took effect in 2012. This means electronics recycling in Texas is available, but it's carried out by the individual manufacturers' programs: consumers can visit manufacturer websites or designated collection points (often retailers or mail-back programs) to recycle old computers, monitors, and TVs without charge.
