Collector and Recycler Information

The California Integrated Waste Management Board has adopted regulations to implement portions of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003. This landmark legislation established a funding system for the collection and recycling of certain electronic wastes. A key element of the Act that affects e-waste collectors and recyclers is the availability of recovery and recycling payments to approved participants for certain collection and recycling activities. Affected parties are encouraged to familiarize themselves with both the statute and regulations.
