Any such collective electronic waste acceptance program must meet the same requirements as an individual manufacturer. Any collective electronic waste acceptance program must include a list of manufacturers that are participating in such program along with other identifying information as may be required by the department. Such program shall submit a registration to the department along with a registration fee of ten thousand dollars. 8. A manufacturer shall be responsible for all costs associated with the implementation of the electronic waste acceptance program. The manufacturer shall not charge consumers for the collection, handling and recycling and reuse of electronic waste, provided that such prohibition shall not apply to a charge on business consumers or to charges for premium services.
