The Cell Phone Recycling Act of 2004, a new law regarding cellular phone recycling, took effect on July 1, 2006. The new law makes it easier for consumers to recycle used cellular phones.

Background
Consumers usually replace their cellular phones about every 18 months. Only a very small percentage of used cellular phones are being recycled or reused. Used cellular phones contain hazardous substances and should not be disposed of with regular household wastes. Circuit boards in cellular phones contain arsenic, antimony, beryllium, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and zinc. The rechargeable batteries used with cellular phones contain cobalt, zinc and copper.

Who is affected by the New Law?
The new law affects cellular phone retailers and consumers. It requires cellular phone retailers to develop and implement a system for the acceptance and collection of used cellular phones for reuse, recycling or proper disposal. As of July 1, 2006, it is unlawful for a retailer to sell a cellular phone to a consumer in California unless the retailer is in compliance with the new law.

What are the new requirements for cellular phone retailers?
Beginning July 1, 2006, retailers must have in place, and promote, a system for accepting and collecting used cellular phones for reuse, recycling or proper disposal. At no cost to the consumer, retailers must:

• Take back from the consumer a used cellular phone that the consumer obtained from the retailer.

• Take back from the consumer a used cellular phone that the consumer obtained anywhere when the consumer obtains a new cellular phone from the retailer.

• Publicize information about the cellular phone recycling opportunities that the retailer provides. This may include, for example, signage, brochures or advertising materials given to consumers, and direct communications with consumers.
