Seven states expanded their e-waste programs in 2026: Colorado, Oregon, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Vermont and Washington.
The changes vary by state but the scope has grown significantly. Oregon now covers scanners, game consoles, routers, modems and small servers. Pennsylvania added e-readers and tablets. Washington introduced a right-to-repair law for consumer electronics. Several states expanded battery recycling mandates to cover a broader range of products.
If your organization operates in any of these states and manages IT assets, your disposal obligations may have changed this year. Working with a certified ITAD provider means your retired equipment is handled in line with current state requirements, with full documentation to back it up.
