Why are so many electronic items not accepted at Return-It Electronics sites?
The list of products currently accepted at Return-It Electronics sites is set by legislation. A specific number of product types were chosen to phase-in the program, and they were determined by which products had the largest quantities requiring recycling and contained the largest amount of recoverable materials. Over time, the legislation will be reviewed and more products will likely be added to the program. In fact, the BC Ministry of Environment has announced its intention to add additional end-of-life electronic items to the regulation.
