How to eCycle in Maryland
Electronic Manufacturers that will recycle my old electronic device for free.
Maryland's eCycling legislation requires CED manufacturers to register with MDE annually, and in certain circumstances pay an annual registration fee, in order to sell their products in the State. Part of Maryland's eCycling legislation enables manufacturers to qualify for a reduced annual renewal registration fee by offering Maryland customers free takeback of their end-of-life CEDs. MDE encourages Maryland CED customers to take advantage of these manufacturer takeback programs when disposing of their end-of-life CEDs.
Registered manufacturers whose listing includes a toll-free telephone number or web link have a MDE-approved takeback program and offer free takeback of their CEDs. Details of the takeback program are available by calling the toll-free telephone number or going to the manufacturers web page. If you feel that the manufacturer is not fulfilling the responsibility relating to the takeback of their old CEDs, please contact MDE to report and detail the problem.
In addition to manufacturer takeback programs, the following also exist to recycle your old CEDs. Inclusion on this list does not constitute endorsement by MDE. Please be sure to contact the company for information or clarification about the services offered, hours of operation, specific requirements, and current charges.
Finally, some Maryland counties also offer recycling of end-of-life electronics for their residents. Some of the money received from manufacturer registrations is used as grants to Maryland counties and municipalities to support their eCycling programs. Please contact your County for details on their programs.

A reduced annual registration fee is available, after the initial registration, if a manufacturer has a Maryland Department of the Environment-approved take back program for all of their products covered under Maryland law. An approved take back program must be free, including providing, at no cost to the returner, a method of returning a CED to the manufacturer and include educational and instructional materials relating to the destruction and sanitization of data from a CED.
A Manufacturer may not sell or offer for sale to any person in the State a new CED unless the CED is labeled with the name of the manufacturer and the manufacturer has registered with and, if applicable, submitted a registration fee to MDE.
Registrations are due by March 1st of each year. The Department recommends that a registration be submitted 30 calendar days prior to the deadline to allow for processing by the Department.
A retailer may not sell or offer for sale to any person in the State a new CED manufactured by a manufacturer, unless the manufacturer has registered with the Department.
Manufacturers and retailers who fail to comply with the Maryland's eCycling law are subject to a
civil penalty, not exceeding $10,000, and an
administrative penalty up to $10,000 for each violation (each day a violation occurs is a separate violation), but not exceeding $100,000. In addition, MDE may assess against any retailer that violates the law a
fine up to $1,000 for each violation, but not exceeding $10,000 total.
Inclusion on this list does not constitute endorsement by the Department. Please be sure to contact the company for clarification about the information provided and the services offered.
