A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE COVERED ELECTRONIC
WASTE (CEW) RECOVERY AND RECYCLING PAYMENT SYSTEM APPLICATION
WHEREAS, hazardous electronic discards are an increasing problem, with more than 6,000
computers becoming obsolete in California every days, and 3.2 million tons of electronic waste
ending up in United States landfills in 2000 and estimated to quadruple in the next few years; and,
WHEREAS, cathode ray tubes contain lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and
other materials that can pose hazards to human health and the environment when handled
improperly; and,
WHEREAS, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control recently affirnled that
discarded cathode ray tubes, such as those found in televisions and computer monitors, are
prohibited from disposal, increasing concerns and costs regarding handling, management and
liability; and,

problem for local government with waste hazardous electronics; and,
WHEREAS, managing hazardous electronic scrap through Butte County's existing
household hazardous waste program will potentially double the volume and cost of this already over
burdened program; and,
WHEREAS, the people of the State of California have enacted Senate Bill 20 (Sher}, the
Electronic Waste and Recycling Act of 2003 (Chapter 526, statutes of 2003) which establishes a
system of payments to collectors and recyclers of cathode ray tubes; and,

Paradise, the County will establish a system of community partners that will aid in the collection of
electronic waste, specifically CRTs; and,

CRT material it collects form sources within the State.
