If you have registered with the state as a collector, or, expressed interest as a collector to the authority, the authority plans on contacting you before the end of the third quarter of 2008 to discuss operational details and compensation.  Please refer to the documents and links below for information on how to register with the state as a collector.  Registration with the state is required for participation as a collector.

You may call us to discuss becoming a collector prior to completing the participation form for registration with ecology. Before registering as a collector you should consider the following operational questions:

  • Can the public safely access my site?  How many cars or customers can I queue at my site at one time?
  • Can I accept a small truck load of CEP's - safely, and without impeding traffic??
  • Do I have plans for the handling of non-covered products?
  • Do I have truck access for the loading of collected devices for transport?
  • How many CEP's can I store or stage until a pick up is arranged?
  • Can I have a trailer left at my site and load it as I receive products? (optional)
  • Does my facility have impervious floors for the storing/staging of products prior to shipping?
  • Can I reasonably protect the products from theft and breakage?
