Covered Electronic Waste Recyclying Program
Notice of Annual Net Cost Reporting Requirement
This notice is an update on the implementation of California's Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 regarding the management of Covered Electronic Wastes (CEW).
CalRecycle has posted the signed Public Notice detailing the requirement that approved collectors and approved recyclers in California’s CEW Recycling Program calculate and submit Net Cost Reports for operations conducted in 2024. This information was discussed as an informational item at the December 17, 2024, CalRecycle monthly meeting. The notice can be found here:
Public Notice: 2024 Covered Electronic Waste Net Cost Reporting Requirement (https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/PublicNotices/Details/5559)
Net Cost Reports, required pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code or Regulations (CCR), section 18660.10, are intended to describe the costs and revenues associated with the handling of CEW within the scope of the CEW Recycling Program. Recyclers should note that regulations (18660.10(d)) require them to report their cathode ray tube (CRT) CEW and non-CRT CEW recycling information separately. As in past years, collector reporting does not require a distinction between CRT CEW and non-CRT CEW. Early in the New Year, approved collectors and recyclers will receive an invitation from CalRecycle to submit their reports online. Reports will be due on or before March 1, 2025.
More information about the Net Cost Report can be found on our Program's forms and information webpage. On that page, you will find links to the revised forms, a frequently asked questions section, and a link to the secure internet portal for approved participants to submit their report. Approved participants will receive direct communications regarding access to the online system in the near future.
Participants are cautioned to not confuse this report with their obligations to also comply with the Department of Toxic Substances Control’s (DTSC) annual reporting requirements by February 1, 2025, which is accessible from DTSC’s Electronic Hazardous Waste (E-Waste) webpage.
