## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Illinois extends recycling framework through 2031: benefit, low. The law moves the recycling Article's repeal date from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2031. This keeps the overall legal framework in place for five additional years. It does not remove the earlier repeal dates listed for individual provisions.
- Recycling websites explain household disposal options: benefit, low. A manufacturer clearinghouse must run consumer education activities and maintain a recycling program website. It must explain disposal restrictions and list collection sites and events by county. It must also post its annual program report after submitting it to Illinois EPA.
- Recycling sites can charge per device: cost, low. Illinois retailers and private collection sites may charge a fee for each covered electronic device they collect. The law does not require a fee or set its amount. This fee permission is scheduled for repeal on December 31, 2026.
- Local recycling sites can change: mixed, low. Participating local governments and program operators can agree in writing to reduce sites or replace collection locations and events. Changes must appear in the manufacturer program plan, and retail or private site owners must agree to participate. Manufacturers can use retail or private sites to…

Illinois expands recycling coverage to home audio components and qualifying peripherals sold at retail, while keeping existing product exclusions. Peripherals include external input or output devices sold only for covered electronics, plus cords used with covered electronics or peripherals. Compute…

That registration provision is scheduled for repeal on December 31, 2026. Each year, recyclers must transport at least 75% of the prior year's device weight from…
- Electronics makers pay, with one exemption: mixed, low. Manufacturers must fund their recycling plans, including packaging materials, bulk transport, and recycling of devices from covered entities. A manufacturer clearinghouse must use the law's allocation method when dividing collection duties among manufacturers. Companies making only peripherals, and…
- Small recycling shipments face capped charges: mixed, low. A recycler may charge a collector when shipments fall below the 18,000-pound average for a collection site. The shortfall charge must be prorated and cannot exceed $600. At least two one-day collection events per program year collecting under 18,000 pounds are protected from shortfall charges. Recy…
