Net Cost Report Training for Approved Collectors and Recyclers:
A Web-Based Workshop--February 16 and 23, 2006

The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) held a web-based training for approved collectors and recyclers of covered electronic waste.  The training allowed participants to learn from the convenience of their own desks; avoiding travel yet affording real-time interactive opportunities.

There were two training session opportunities covering the same material.

In this training session, instructors demystified the Covered Electronic Waste (CEW) Net Cost Reporting requirement. Instructors walked through the standard forms prepared by the Board to simplify the reporting process, provided examples and answered questions about what to include and how. All electronics waste collectors and recyclers approved under the California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 are required to submit these reports to the Board by March 1, 2006.
