What is the 'Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003'?

The Recycling Act of 2003 in California is SB20. It creates an advanced recycling fee model, which consumers pay into, the state manages, and the recyclers and collectors participate in. It's been a wild success story. California leads the world in electronic waste recycling, and it's a paradigm that's going to be followed over and over again. Minimally, the landfill band and the non-export nature of the legislation in California should be followed everywhere else.
