Annual Manufacturer Fee Deadline
|
January 1
Any manufacturer that manufactured an average of more than one thousand covered electronic devices (CED's) per year in the past three-year period is required to register with the state of West Virginia. If a manufacturer has not manufactured more than one thousand CED's per year in the past three-year period a letter of explanation must be sent to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection for compliance purposes. Registration is based on the number of CED's "manufactured" by the manufacturer NOT on the number of CED's "sold" within West Virginia. All registration fees collected shall be deposited in the Covered Electronic Devices Takeback Fund which is to be administered by the Department of Environmental Protection. Expenditures from the fund shall be for grants for recycling or other programs that divert covered electronic devices from the waste stream. A fee of $5,000 is required if an approved takeback or recycling program is not established within West Virginia. A fee of $500 is required if an approved takeback or recycling program has been implemented in the prior year within West Virginia.

Manufacturer Private Collection/Takeback/Recovery Program or Plan
|
Yes
The manufacturer has two options in the registration process. The first option is that the manufacturer implements a takeback program for their products that is completely free to the customer, including shipping, which allows the manufacturer to pay a lower registration fee. Manufacturers are required to provide a toll free number and website address detailing program information on their takeback process. The second option is that the manufacturer does not implement a takeback program and pays a higher registration fee.
