FAQ: Michigan electronics takeback program

Part 173 of Michigan’s 1994 Public Act 451, as Amended (Act 451) establishes the state’s electronics takeback program, requiring manufacturers of covered computers, printers, and video display devices to register and provide free, convenient recycling options.
