On and after January 1, 2011, no person shall knowingly place a covered electronic device or any of the components or subassemblies of such device in any solid waste facility. An owner or operator of a solid waste facility shall not be found in violation of this section if such owner or operator has (1) made a good faith effort to comply with this section, (2) posted, in a conspicuous location at the facility, a sign stating that covered electronic devices or any components thereof shall not be accepted at such facility, and (3) notified, in writing, all collectors registered to haul solid waste to such facility that such devices or components shall not be accepted at the facility. For the purposes of this section, “solid waste facility” means “solid waste facility” as defined in section 22a-207, but does not include transfer stations.
