Pounds Collected

For Program Year 2012, registered collectors in Illinois reported collecting 72,870,015.35 pounds of residential ewaste. The Illinois EPA believes that this number is inflated and incorrectly reported. The Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act requires all collectors to report only the amounts collected from residential sources. It appears that often times collectors fail to separate business or commercial ewaste items from residential items and report all weights; this significantly raises the total pounds collected. In addition, many collectors have reported weights of items collected from other ewaste collectors or recyclers and not just the pounds that they have collected directly from residential sources; this results in a "double counting" of the weights.
