The costs of collecting, transporting, <strong>and</strong> recycling used equipment is split between local authorities,<br />

AHEA members (equipment manufacturers <strong>and</strong> retailers), <strong>and</strong> consumers. Customers pay a<br />

fee when returning the product to purchase a new one, or when the product is delivered to the<br />

home <strong>and</strong> the used piece taken away by the retailer; the manufacturer pays a fee, based on<br />

product sales; <strong>and</strong> retailers pay transportation costs. However, some transportation may be<br />

h<strong>and</strong>led by local governments <strong>and</strong> licensed recyclers, in which case the costs are shifted back to<br />

the retailers. The fees are negotiated by the Council.<br />
