The City of Santa Ana is committed to protecting public health and the <br />environment from hazardous discards, while reducing waste and <br />increasing recycling consistent with state waste diversion requirements. <br /> <br />The form, volume, toxicity of electronics scrap demands substantially <br />greater producer responsibility for: 1) reducing the amount of hazardous <br />materials in electronic devices, 2) diverting hazardous electronics from <br />solid waste disposal, and 3) increasing the rouse and recycling of <br />electronic devices and components. <br /> <br />Extended Producer Responsibility principles, such as those being adopted <br />by several countries and the European Union, will foster the development <br />of sustainable design and recovery of hazardous electronic equipment by <br />shifting the default burden of management responsibility from local <br />government, ratepayers, and taxpayers back to the manufacturers, <br />distributors and consumers of such products, in part by internalized <br />lifecycle costs in the price of such products. <br /> <br /> Section 2. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby urges its State <br />Assembly and State Senate Representatives, by letter and receipt of this resolution, to <br />introduce and support legislation requiring computer and other hazardous electronics <br />producers to operate or fund comprehensive programs whereby products are sustainably <br />designed and labeled, consumers receive a financial incentive for proper disposal, and a <br />convenient collection infrastructure yielding a high rate of recovery is created and <br />environmentally sound reuse followed by recycling is maximized. <br /> <br /> Section 3. If no effective producer responsibility program is created by the <br />electronics industry or enacted by the California Legislature and signed by the Governor <br />by October 15, 2002, the City of Santa Ana may commence preparing a local ordinance <br />to require sellers and manufacturers to take back hazardous electronic equipment free <br />of charge at the point of purchase or to otherwise establish and finance a convenient <br />recovery system. <br /> <br /> Section 4. Should the electronics industry and the Legislature and Governor <br />fail to act, the City of Santa Ana, may additionally require a deposit or fee at the point of <br />sale to provide incentives for consumers to properly return for reuse or recycling such <br />products and cover the costs to Santa Ana and others for proper management of such <br />products <br /> <br />ADOPTED this 19th day of February, <br /> <br />2002..~,"'" <br />Mayor <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2002-010 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
