By

the collection and recycling of all electronic waste in the state. As part
of this, ANR is to determine at least three permanent collection sites in each
county.

July 1, 2011 – If the Rutland County Solid Waste District is designated as a
permanent collection facility, then the District would be required to collect
computers, computer monitors, anything with a cathode ray tube, televisions,
