    How it works

    Under the Oklahoma Computer Equipment Recovery Act (27A O.S. § 2-11-601 et seq.), overseen by DEQ, makers of desktop and notebook computers and computer monitors must take back their own brand from Oklahoma households at no charge. Most use mail-back with a free shipping label; few offer drop-off. DEQ lists each manufacturer's program and steps. Televisions are not covered.

    Cost & rules
    • Desktop and notebook computers and computer monitors only, used at home. Each manufacturer must take back its own brand at no charge, usually by mail with a free shipping label; a few (such as Dell) take any brand.
    • Find the manufacturer's steps on DEQ's participating manufacturers list. Tablets, phones and TVs are not covered by the law, though some manufacturers take them.
