Many U.S. states have implemented laws that call for the environmentally friendly disposal/recycling of electronic products, some of which include provisions for office imaging equipment that Ricoh markets and manufactures (multi-functional products, printers, faxes, digital duplicators, scanners). Regulations vary from state-to-state. Below, is information for states with current e-waste regulations affecting our industry. Some provide consumers with instructions and contact information for handling ewaste within their resident states. We will update this page as new regulations are introduced.

All waste computer monitors, portable computers, digital picture frames, televisions, portable DVD players, desktop printers, and video game consoles generated by households in Maine must be recycled. The state of Maine asks that consumers contact their local municipality for information about how and where to recycle your e-waste.

Wisconsin's electronic recycling laws require manufacturers to offer free recycling for personal desktop printers from residential owners and elementary school (Kindergarten-12). The customer will need to arrange for delivery to Ricoh's collection center. See eligible equipment and a list of collection centers here.
