ELECTRONICS RECYCLING

What is the Return-It Electronics program?
A province-wide end-of-life electronics recycling program available to BC consumers and businesses. As of August 1st, 2007, you can drop off regulated products at designated collection sites (BBK Bottel Depot in Prince George at 2629 Vance Road) without charge, and be assured they will be recycled responsibly.

What are the regulated electronic items included in the program?

• DESKTOP COMPUTERS Includes Central Processing Units (CPUs), mouse, keyboards, cables and other components within the computer. This includes desktop computers, desktop computers acting as servers, and all associated keyboards and cabling.
• COMPUTER MONITORS A display device used for displaying images from computers or other sources that does not meet the definition of a television. This includes traditional Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and flat panel display technologies.
• NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS Includes portable computers such as notebook, laptop and tablet PCs.
• DESKTOP PRINTERS AND FAX MACHINES This includes printing devices that are designed to reside on a work surface, and includes various printing technologies, including Laser & LED (electrophotographic), ink jet, dot matrix, thermal, dye sublimation, etc. and “multi-function” or “all in one” devices that perform different tasks such as copy, scan, fax, print, etc.
• TELEVISIONS A video display device with an imbedded television tuner. This includes various display technologies, such as traditional Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), flat panel or rear projection.
• KEYBOARD & MOUSE - Selected manual print input devices such as keyboards and/or pointing devices such as mice and track balls. Both wired and wireless technologies apply.

How is the program funded?

No, the cost of the program is borne by consumers and producers of designated electronics products.

How does the fee program work?
A fee applied to the purchase price of new desktop computers, computer monitors, notebook computers, desktop printers, fax machines, and televisions will be used to pay for the recycling of all regulated items returned.

How will I know whether I’ve paid a fee on my purchase?
The environmental handling fee (EHF) charged on the sale of new designated electronics products may appear on your sales receipt.

Why should I have to pay a fee on the purchase of new electronics?
The fee will ensure that end-of-life electronics are processed responsibly and do not end up in our landfills or exported to developing nations.

Where can I return my used electronics?
To find a collection site nearest you visit Encorp.

What if I have a large volume of obsolete electronics?

INK & TONER

Because there are literally thousands of toners and ink cartridges available, we do ask that you contact us for a complete price quote. For any order under $500.00 there is a $15.00 shipping charge but for orders over $500.00 shipping is free within Canada. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Paypal payments or you can call us and give your credit information over the phone.

If you would like a price quote, please provide the actual manufacturers part number as each printer can have many different cartridges, high yield, low yield, prebate etc. It helps comparing apples to apples or in this case, toner to toner.

Touch Computer Systems

The main line of comuters that we carry at Premier Computer Care Inc. is the "Touch" line of computers. Touch computer systems have a proven track record in the computer industry and they have been around since the early 80's. Touch is also one of the only computer lines to offer a complete 3 year parts warranty. Typically, computer systems only have a 1 year warranty but because of using exceptional part like Asus motherboards and Intel or AMD CPU's, Touch can offer the better warranty. At Premier Computer Care, we are able to repair Touch systems in house without the need to send them away for any extended period of time. Typical configurations will cost around $700.00 for a solid performing business class machine and around $900.00 for a higher end home computer system. Please refer to the information above for a customized quote. With these systems, we can preconfigure them to your exact specifications and needs so you are not getting the typical "Bundled" computer system.
