Collectors need a valid customer ID for e-waste because every load has to be traceable back to a source (person or business) with a name and address in case there is an audit, a claim, or a problem with the universal waste.
LICENSE PLATE NUMBER
Certain e-waste requires the facility to collect a California license plate numbers to show the load is coming from a legitimate California source which supports program rules that prohibit out-of-state e-waste from being claimed in California incentive programs.
PHONE NUMBER
Collectors ask for a phone number so that the source documentation provides the contact information in case CalRecycle or the DTSC need to contact the source if there is a question about the load or an audit at a later date.
