NEW – Covered Device Recycling Act

The Covered Device Recycling Act (CDRA, House Bill 708), Act 108 of 2010, requires manufacturers to provide recycling programs for desktop computers, laptop computers, computer monitors, computer peripherals and televisions sold to consumers in Pennsylvania beginning in January 2012. Other requirements also apply. Please see the links below. (Note to manufacturers – this does not include manufacturers of computer peripherals if the manufacturer does not make other covered devices).

Covered Device Recycling Act – A General Overview (PDF) 2520-FS-DEP4324 (eLibrary)
Beginning Jan. 24, 2013, desktop computers, laptop computers, computer monitors, computer peripherals, televisions, and any components of such devices may no longer be disposed in Pennsylvania with municipal waste. Additionally, covered devices that are not from an occupant of a single detached dwelling unit or a single unit of a multiple dwelling unit that used a covered device primarily for personal or small business may no longer dispose of these devices or their components at that time. All of these devices are required to be properly recycled.

LOOKING TO PURCHASE USED PRINTER CARTIDGES!

Our company Eriecycle is a recycler of toner and inkjet printer cartridges.  We have a Used Printer Cartridge Buyback Program that we wanted to inform your Municipality about.  In short, our company pays cash for used printer cartridges that we need for remanufacturing and reselling thru our distribution channels.  Some highlights of the program:
  • We pay cash for OEM original toner cartridges.  Each month we update our buyback list based on market demand.  This month we a buying over 150 different models of toner cartridges at up to $18.00 each, and over 75 different models of inkjet cartridges at up to $4.00 each.
  • We offer free pickup with our own trucks.  All you have to do is collect cartridges out of your waste stream, palletize, and call us when ready for a pickup.  We service the entire State at least once a month, so when ready for us we will get to your location as quick as possible, or you could schedule a once a month pickup for us to collect any cartridges you have for recycling.
  • Within 30 days you will receive an itemized report and payment for all of the cartridges received with a value based on our Buyback List for the month we received the cartridges.
  • Any cartridges received that are unusable for remanufacturing, due typically to damage or outdated machine with no aftermarket demand, are sent to Covanta Energy in Niagara Falls, NY for use in their Waste To Energy Electricity Plant (www.covantaenergy.com)
Our program is easy, free to implement, returns a great revenue stream, and generates zero landfill waste.  It is a total win for The Environment and Your Municipality.
Attached our the Buyback Lists for this month September 2012.  Please review when convenient and let me know if you have any questions about the program, or if you would like to have us pick up any cartridges you have available for recycling.
