Proposed Phase 1 System for Covered Electronic Devices (CEDs)

1. Proposed Phase 1 System for Covered Electronic Devices (CEDs) Authorized Collector Authorized Recycler WasteBoard $ Request & Invoice CEDs 20 to 30 cents/lb. $ CEDs Cancelled Free Drop Off This system would provide free recycling through free drop off at Participating Authorized Recyclers, and convenient collection by Authorized Collectors who may charge for drop off of CEDs by consumers. Recyclers have said they cover their net costs by charging the people delivering CEDs, so this system would cover the net cost of recycling. The CIWMB would reimburse based on a statewide per pound rate. Recyclers could choose not to participate and could then charge for drop off. After receiving an invoice from an Authorized Recycler that documents the origins, amounts, cancellation and destinations of the CEDs, the Board would process and pay the invoice at the statewide per pound rate.

2. Map of Phase 1 System for Covered Electronic Devices (CEDs) $ $ Payments to Recyclers Participating Authorized Recyclers in California would accept CEDs without a charge. The CEDs would be cancelled. The CEDs would then be recycled either in California or after export. The CIWMB would reimburse the recycler at a standard statewide per pound rate Collector-to-Collector, and Recycler-to-Recycler transactions would not be reimbursed Material Flow Money Flow Paperwork Flow C R Authorized Collector B R Authorized Recycler $ B Recyclers Recyclers may not charge when accepting CEDs from Authorized Collectors CIWMB Cancellation Point R Free Drop-off at Authorized Recyclers C $ CIWMB Reimbursement Collectors Collectors may charge when collecting CEDs from businesses, residents or other collectors Resident C Business CIWMB - SB 20 Implementation - Payment System Workshop

3. Potential Phase 2 – Addition of Collector Payments (per pound rate) Authorized Collector WasteBoard Authorized Recycler $ Maintain Free Drop off at Participating Authorized Recyclers and CIWMB reimbursements to Recyclers. If the funds collected far exceed the requests for payment after 1 year of payments or the consumer fee is raised significantly, then use either option 1 or option 2 to get reimbursements to collectors. . Option 1: Quarterly Payments Directly to Collectors Based on Recycler invoices showing amounts by collector, the Board would send payments to collectors at a statewide per pound rate Payment Option 1 – Y cents/lb. CEDs Request & Invoice 20 to 30 cents/lb. Option2 $ CEDs Cancelled Option 2 – Y cents/lb. Free Drop Off Option 2: Pass Payments through Recyclers Increase per pound rate paid to Recyclers, who would pass payments on to Collectors at a standard statewide per pound rate CIWMB - SB 20 Implementation - Payment System Workshop

4. Potential Phase 3 – Base Reimbursements on Actual Costs Authorized Collector Authorized Recycler WasteBoard $ $ Once sufficient information has been collected and the costs are better understood, the way reimbursement payments are made may be changed. A possible change would be to pay invoices from Collectors and Recyclers related to specific actual costs by activity (collection, transportation and/or recycling). This would maintain a system with free recycling and extend it to free collection by prohibiting Authorized Collectors from charging consumers. .
