Retailers
Do you want to know which brand names are complying with the law? Please see the
2007 Manufacturer Registration List. After
January 1, 2007, only registered brands will be eligible for sale in (or into)
Washington State.
Are you a Retailer?
Washington Electronic Products Recycling Program
( Chapter 173-900 WAC)
also applies to retailers. You are subject to this rule:
- If you sell computers, laptops or portable computers, televisions, or monitors
in or into Washington State, this rule affects you.
- This rule applies to all sales methods, including retail locations, catalogues,
phone sales, or the Internet.
- Sales of products for reuse or wholesale transactions with another retailer or
distributor are exempt from this rule.
As of January 1, 2007:
Retailers may offer for sale or sell a computer, laptop or portable computer,
television, or monitor only if both of the following are true:
- The CEP carries a label with the brand name of the manufacturer. (If a retailer
can prove that it was in possession of the CEP prior to January 1, 2007, a label is
not required.)
- The retailer ordered the CEP from a registered manufacturer. (If a retailer can
prove that it ordered the CEP prior to January 1, 2007, the retailer can continue to
offer the CEP for sale even if the manufacturer has not registered or the CEP carries
no brand-name label.)
