The California Integrated Waste Management Board has adopted
emergency 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. Collectors and recyclers of "covered electronic wastes" can participate in a payment system that will foster the development of reuse and recycling opportunities. Interested parties must secure approval to participate. Unlike California's "bottle bill", covered electronic wastes have no redemption value.
Who is approved
to participate in the payment system?
A
listing of recyclers and collectors that have been approved to
participate in the payment system is being maintained on the
California Integrated Waste Management Board website. This list will
be updated regularly as additional entities meet the requirements
for participation by complying with regulations of the CIWMB and
Department of Toxic Substances Control.
As the Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), in consultation with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), works to implement this important legislation, more
information will be available through this website. Note that
any guidance provided by the CIWMB should not substitute for
careful reading of the enabling statute or subsequent regulations.
