2017 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 27A. Environment and Natural Resources
§27A-2-11-602. Purpose.
A. Computers and computer monitors have become indispensable to the strength and growth of the state’s economy and the quality of life of its citizens. Equally important is the protection of our state’s environment and natural resources which necessitates the implementation of a statewide system to properly dispose of or recycle these products. Many of these products can be refurbished and reused, and many contain valuable materials that can be recycled.
B. The purpose of the Oklahoma Computer Equipment Recovery Act is to establish a convenient and environmentally sound recovery program for the collection, recycling and reuse of computers and computer monitors that have reached the end of their useful lives. The program is based on individual manufacturer responsibility and shared responsibility among consumers, retailers, and government.
