[GreenYes] Re: Looking for Adopted Extended Producer Responsibility or Product Stewardship resolutions and ARFs for batteries

["Pat Franklin" <pfranklin@no.address>]

Don't mess with "advanced disposal fees"...put a CRV on those batteries.  It
works for beverage bottles and cans..and it can work for batteries, and
tires, and tv's and computers, and.....so on.I'm totally serious!!

Subject: [CRRA] Looking for Adopted Extended Producer Responsibility or
Product 
         Stewardship resolutions and ARFs for batteries

Made up of a group of representatives from cities and counties located in
California, the California Product Stewardship Council is a nonprofit
association whose mission is to shift California's product waste management
system from one focused on government funded and ratepayer financed waste
diversion to one that relies on producer responsibility in order to reduce
public costs and drive improvements in product design that promote
environmental sustainability.

We are looking for examples from communities - not only in
California - that have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility or
Product Stewardship resolutions. Copies of the resolutions would be
extremely helpful.

We are also looking for communities that have implemented Advance
Recycling Fees for household batteries. A quick description of the program,
and if it's been successful, would be helpful.
        
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
