California Covered Electronic Waste (CEW) Recycling ProgramState program · CaliforniaOpen to everyoneConditions applyFree
How it works
Statewide program under the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, run by CalRecycle with DTSC and CDTFA and funded by a recycling fee paid when buying covered devices. Approved collectors are paid to take covered video display devices (TVs, monitors, laptops, tablets and other screens over 4 inches) and, since Jan. 1, 2026, battery-embedded products. CalRecycle says Californians can recycle e-waste with an authorized collector at no charge; find one in the eRecycle directory.
Cost & rules
- Covered: video display devices with screens over 4 inches (TVs, monitors, laptops, tablets, smart displays, portable DVD players). Since Jan. 1, 2026 the program also covers battery-embedded products (built-in, non-removable batteries); confirm with the collector.
- Use an authorized (approved) collector; it will ask your name and address to confirm the item came from California. Find one in CalRecycle's eRecycle directory.

Before you go

List each device; operators often price printers, phones and audio equipment differently.
Erase phones and remove memory cards before you drop them off.
Ask whether there’s a per-pound or per-item fee.
