  4. Michigan manufacturer electronics takeback (NREPA Part 173)State program · MichiganMichigan residentsConditions applyFree
    How it works

    Under Part 173 of Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (2008), overseen by EGLE, manufacturers of computers, monitors, tablets, desktop printers and TVs sold in Michigan must register each year and offer consumers and small businesses (10 or fewer employees) a free, convenient takeback program, mostly by mail-back. Computer makers take back their own brands; TV makers take any brand. Up to 7 devices per person per day. Collection sites not part of a manufacturer program may charge.

    Cost & rules
    • Only covered devices: computers, monitors, tablets, desktop printers and TVs. Phones, keyboards, mice, speakers, cables and cords are not covered, and collectors may charge for them.
    • Use the manufacturer's takeback program (mostly mail-back; EGLE lists registered manufacturers with links). A collection site or event that is not part of a manufacturer program may charge a reasonable fee.
    • For households and small businesses (10 or fewer employees) using the device in Michigan.

    Official page (opens in new tab)

Before you go

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