Managing E-Waste - Consumer Information

Many U.S. states have implemented laws that call for the environmentally friendly disposal/recycling of electronic products, some of which include provisions for office imaging equipment that Ricoh markets and manufactures (multi-functional products, printers, faxes, digital duplicators, scanners). Regulations vary from state-to-state. Below, is information for states with current e-waste regulations affecting our industry. Some provide consumers with instructions and contact information for handling ewaste within their resident states. We will update this page as new regulations are introduced.
