(c) Each manufacturer e-waste program shall make the instructions required under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) available on its website by December 1, 2017, and the program shall provide to the Agency a hyperlink to the website for posting on the Agency's website. (d) Nothing in this Act shall prevent a manufacturer from accepting, through a manufacturer e-waste program, CEDs from covered entities collected through a curbside or drop-off collection program that is operated pursuant to a residential franchise collection agreement authorized by Section 11-19-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code or Section 5-1048 of the Counties Code between a third party and a unit of local government located within a county or municipal joint action agency that has elected to participate in a manufacturer e-waste program. (e) A collection program operated in accordance with this Section shall: (1) meet the collector responsibilities under subsections (a), (a-5), (d), (e), and (g) under Section 1-45 and require certification on the bill of lading or similar manifest from the unit of local government, the third party, or the county or municipal joint action agency that elected to participate in the manufacturer e-waste program that the CEDs were collected, to the best of their knowledge, from covered entities in the State of Illinois; (2) comply with the audit provisions under subsection (g) of Section 1-30; (3) locate any drop-off location where CEDs are collected on property owned by a unit of local government; and (4) have signage at any drop-off location indicating only CEDs from covered entities are accepted for recycling.
