To elaborate a bit more, the system pays both collectors (which unitsngold and I are) and recyclers a set amount which is variable year to year. This year is 0.18/lb for collectors. This means you need to have a recycler that is participating pay you the 0.18/lb, and then they pick up the recycling fee and are reimbursed for what they pay the collector. The recycler can also choose to pay more than that. I don't know the recycling payment but it's around 0.30/lb. This program is totally voluntary and some recyclers accept all devices included in the program, and some do not.
