California Recycling Fee

The State of California passed new legislation in September of 2003 which requires retailers, effective January 1, 2005, to collect a recycling fee for electronic devices with a screen size larger than 4”, such as televisions (except plasma), laptop/notebook computers, LCD screens and monitors.

The new law requires the retailer to collect the following fees at the time of purchase:

Display Screen Size – Measure Diagonally

>= 4” to < 15”           $6

>= 15” to < 35”         $8

>= 35” and larger    $10

The fee is non-taxable and is refunded 100% if the unit is returned. More information on this new law can be found at:  http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Electronics/Act2003
