RadioShack is engaged with many state environmental agencies to comply with all current recycling laws. RadioShack encourages everyone to recycle their used electronic products responsibly.
California Recycling Fee
Beginning January 1, 2005, sales of certain video display devices
with a screen measuring at least four inches diagonally are subject
to an electronic waste recycling fee imposed by the State of California.
If an order is sold or shipped to California, this fee will be
charged on the following covered electronic devices:
- Televisions
that contain cathode ray tubes, liquid crystal displays, or plasma
displays
- Computer monitors that contain cathode ray tubes or
use liquid crystal displays
- Laptop computers with liquid crystal
displays
- "Bare" cathode ray tubes or any other product that
uses a cathode ray tube
- Portable DVD players with liquid crystal
displays
The fee charged is based on the viewable screen size, measured
diagonally as follows:
| Screen Size |
Fee |
| Greater than 4 inches but less than 15 inches |
$8.00 |
| Greater than or equal to 15 inches but less than 35 inches |
$16.00 |
| Greater than or equal to 35 inches |
$25.00 |
The fee is not subject to California sales tax. Sales for resale
are not subject to the fee, provided you supply a properly completed
California resale certificate at the time the order is faxed or
mailed.
