California Covered Electronic Waste (CEW) Recycling ProgramState program · CaliforniaOpen to everyoneConditions applyFree
How it works
Statewide program under the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, run by CalRecycle with DTSC and CDTFA and funded by a recycling fee paid when buying covered devices. Approved collectors are paid to take covered video display devices (TVs, monitors, laptops, tablets and other screens over 4 inches) and, since Jan. 1, 2026, battery-embedded products. CalRecycle says Californians can recycle e-waste with an authorized collector at no charge; find one in the eRecycle directory.
Cost & rules
- CRT, LCD/LED, plasma and OLED TVs with screens over 4 inches diagonally.
- Use an authorized (approved) collector; it will ask your name and address to confirm the item came from California. Find one in CalRecycle's eRecycle directory.

Before you go

Note whether it’s a flat screen or an older CRT (tube) set; many programs price them differently.
Ask whether a cracked screen or broken glass changes the price or handling.
Confirm the total cost, including any visit fee, before you load it.
