Recycling Programs in Texas
Texas has no PaintCare program, no statewide per-tire disposal fee, and no mattress stewardship law, unlike California, New York, or Washington. It does have two real manufacturer-funded programs: computer and television manufacturers selling in Texas must fund free consumer recycling of their branded equipment, per TCEQ. Texas also requires retailers selling a new lead-acid (car/truck) battery to accept a used one in equal quantity, and bans disposing of one any other way.
State-specific programs
