CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia Senate committee voted unanimously on Tuesday to lift a ban on disposing of electronic devices in landfills.
The bill would reverse part of a 2010 law that established a litter control program in the state. Since then, it has been illegal to throw any electronics with screens larger than 4 inches into a landfill. Similar laws are in place in 20 states. At least eight states have enacted bans in the last two years.
