Amendment to Cabarrus County Solid Waste Management Plan <br />4.13 Electronics Management Plan <br />4.13.1 Existing and Proposed Programs <br />Cabarrus County accepts electronics from residents at the HHW and Landfill Convenience Centers. <br />Businesses may also drop off electronics, but are charged a fee of 10 cents per pound. All electronic <br />devices are accepted for reuse or recycling, including: computer systems, televisions, audio equipment, <br />telephones, video equipment, and any other, non - radioactive, electronic device. <br />Residents are charged a fee for televisions and computer monitors. A copy of the fee schedule is <br />provided in Appendix F. <br />Cabarrus County and the City of Concord intend to partner in management of the increased volumes of <br />electronics that will need management due to the ban on disposal beginning July 1, 2011, as required by <br />Session Law 2010 -67. This would be accomplished through shared capital and collection labor <br />resources, as well as jointly marketing the program to residents, and utilizing one processing vendor for <br />all materials. Collection events will supplement the above - addressed Convenience Centers for the spike <br />in demand for recycling service. <br />4.13.2 Intended Actions and Impediments <br />Table 4 -19 lists the intended actions by Cabarrus County to meet their goals related to management of <br />discarded electronics. A summary of progress made toward actions specified in the previous Plan <br />Update is included in Appendix C. <br />Table 4 -19.
