1/9/2004CIWMB - SB 20 Implementation - Payment System Workshop1 Proposed Phase 1 System for Covered Electronic Devices (CEDs) Authorized Recycler Waste Board Request & Invoice 20 to 30 cents/lb. 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.

1/9/2004CIWMB - SB 20 Implementation - Payment System Workshop3 Option 2 – Y cents/lb. Payment Option 1 – Y cents/lb. 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 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 Option 2. 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.

1/9/2004CIWMB - SB 20 Implementation - Payment System Workshop4 Specific Payments. 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.
