Eco Fees on the Rise

Thursday, 4 April 2013 at 10:55

Be prepared to pay a little more for that new large-screen T-V starting next month. Eco fees are going up on the big T-Vs and some other electronic gadgets starting May 1st, while the recycling charges will go down on some other items. P-C Leader Tim Hudak is calling it another tax grab by the Liberals, saying consumers will be less than thrilled about having to pay nearly $40 extra for a television. On the other hand, fees for large floor-standing printers and copiers will see the eco fee go down quite a bit -- from $341 down to $173. Portable computer equipment will drop slightly from $3 to $1.50, however, "computer peripherals" will more than double up to 75-cents.
