California Covered Electronic Waste Program — Continuing Regulatory Updates
ONGOING | California | Electronics Recycling
California continues to update the Covered Electronic Waste Recycling Program as SB 1215 is implemented. Current CalRecycle rulemaking includes changes related to net-cost reporting, payment-rate calculations, bundled products, wireless devices, and other program procedures. The previously approved SB 1215 emergency regulations became effective December 11, 2025 and are scheduled to expire December 12, 2027 unless replaced or readopted.
Why it matters: Changes to reporting, fee application, reimbursement methodology, and claims administration can directly affect the economics and administrative requirements of California electronics recycling.
Current status: This is an implementation and rulemaking watch item rather than a single pending bill.
