New Hampshire does not have a comprehensive e-waste recycling law; however, the state has a law prohibiting the disposal of video display devices (including CRTs) in solid waste landfills or incinerators. Also, the State Department of Environmental Services is required to monitor the disposal of electronic waste. The law was passed in 2006 and took effect July 1, 2007.
