Starting next year, computer makers that want to do business in Maryland 
must kick in up to $5,000 annually to help recycle their products under a 
new state law designed to cope with the roughly 60,000 tons of "electronic 
waste" that pile up in Maryland each year.
The law, signed last month by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R), affects only 
makers of desktop and laptop computers, including monitors, but it hints at 
expanding to include television sets in the near future.
