In CA, the state charges an extra fee when you purchase CRT's (or, Covered Electronics, in CA terminology). This fee is then passed on to state approved collectors and recyclers to ensure that haz mat's are being properly disposed of.

Does anyone on here take part in CalRecycle's Covered Electronics Waste fee system (CIWMB 186)? What can you get per monitor? I'm just wondering if it's worth the hassle of jumping through the hoops, or if I should just pull out what copper I can from CRT's and then drop them off at a free recycling center. I'm pretty small-time right now, but I'm open to expanding in the future.



Also - if you're in CA and understand all the regulations on a small e-waste business, let me know if I can message you. I think I understand things, but I just want to make sure.
