Governments, customers and the public are increasingly interested in the proper recycling of end-of-life electronics. Recycling diverts waste from landfills and can result in recovered materials being used to create other products. Many countries are adopting or proposing regulations requiring responsible end-of-life product management. HP is a leader in responsible end-of-life management of electronics.

Canadian Provincial Electronics Recycling Regulations
Provinces in Canada have or are expected to pass legislation requiring recycling surcharges be paid on designated electronic goods shipped or sold into the province. Current programs have targeted five general categories for end-of-life product recycling. Products impacted are PCs, notebooks, monitors, printers and televisions, with additional items to be phased in, as per provincial schedule.

Although efforts are taken to harmonize between provinces, the products impacted and associated fees may vary by province. Example of recycling fees by category is as follows:
