Are you a Transporter?

A “transporter” is an entity that transports covered electronic products from collection sites or services to processors or other locations for the purpose of recycling, but does not include any entity or person that hauls their own unwanted electronic products.

What do transporters need to do?

In order to transport electronic products for these plans, transporters must:

• Submit an initial registration after June 1st, 2007
• Update the registration information within 14 days of any changes
• Renew registration annually
• Meet certain performance standards defined in WAC 173-900-550.

Transporters approved to provide services for electronic product recycling plans will be listed on the “Transporter Registration List” on this website. Transporters who do not complete this process will not be able to transport covered electronic products for plans.

Ecology has established an online registration process. We encourage businesses to use it whenever possible. The process will not only save considerably on paper usage, but will alleviate having to fill out and mail in a new registration each year. Businesses will instead be able to go annually to their online registration, update information and easily resubmit their application.

NOTE: The individual responsible for implementing the company’s requirements under the Washington Electronic Product Recycling program must submit the registration form.
