Ricoh Imaging Scanner Program

The New York State Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act (Article 27, Title 26 of the Environmental Conservation Law) (the “Act”) ensures that every New York consumer has the opportunity to recycle his or her electronic waste in an environmentally-responsible manner.

Manufacturers of covered electronic equipment ("CEE") will be responsible for implementing and maintaining an acceptance program for the discarded electronic waste, with oversight by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC").
