Overview

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) will be holding an informal public workshop on April 8, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. The purpose of this workshop is to consult with the public, the regulated community, and other interested parties to solicit feedback on the proposed covered electronic waste (CEW) recovery and recycling payment rates.

Request for Public Feedback

At the public workshop CalRecycle will be presenting the proposed CEW recovery and recycling payment rates.

Every year, CalRecycle is authorized and required by statute to consider the adequacy of the CEW recovery and recycling payment rates. The rates established by CalRecycle must be sufficient to cover the average net costs of compliantly collecting and recycling CEW.

The public workshop will be a hybrid in-person and virtual workshop, accessible in person in the Byron Sher Hearing Room located on the 2nd floor of the CalRecycle headquarters at 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California. The Byron Sher hearing room is wheelchair accessible. The public workshop will also be accessible virtually via Zoom for direct participation and via Webcast for observation only.
