Alaska SB61 establishes an electronic product stewardship program for collection, recycling, and disposal of electronic devices.

Alaska SB61 creates a framework for managing electronic waste, focusing on the collection, recycling, and disposal of electronic devices.

The bill also establishes an Electronics Recycling Advisory Council to provide guidance and recommendations on best practices.
