Environmental Handling Fee
Recycling programs are sustained through the collection of an Environmental Handling Fee (EHF) enforced by provinces in Canada. They are paid at the time you purchase a new computer, notebook, monitor, television and other applicable electronics (outlined by Province below) – so you won't need to worry about paying a Fee to recycle your end-of-life electronics.

Sales - For online orders, EHFs are charged based on your shipping address.
Returns - The EHF on electronics is refundable on returns based on Shopper+ Inc.
Exchanges - If a Television, for example, is exchanged for another size of Television, the final EHF will be based on the size of the second Television.
HST Applicability - HST applies to the amount of the levy.

You will see the fee appear during checkout.

New Brunswick

As of June 1, 2017, the government of New Brunswick has mandated that the Environmental Handling Fee (EHF) must be included in the price for qualifying products, as shown on the receipt. That means when you look at your paper receipt in-store or the online invoice on BestBuy.ca, the price you see will include the EHF, instead of having the EHF listed separately.

The EHF-included price only appears on the receipt or online invoice. The price listed on the store shelf, online product description page, cart, or checkout summary page will show the EHF listed separately.

This policy only applies to products sold in New Brunswick Best Buy stores or online purchases that are shipped to New Brunswick. To learn more about the New Brunswick EHF program please visit the official site.

Q: What is the Environmental Handling Fee (EHF)?
The Environmental Handling Fee (EHF) is an environmental fee or levy that is to be added to the purchase of all televisions, computers, computer equipment and other applicable electronic devices in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Ontario, PEI, Manitoba, Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador. The fee will be used to cover the cost of collection, transportation, storage, processing and disposal of electronic waste.

Q: Does the Environmental Handling Fee (EHF) apply to online purchases?
The Environmental Handling Fee also applies to all online purchases that are shipped to Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Ontario, PEI, Manitoba, Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Q: What if my shipping address is different to my billing address?
For example, if a parent in Ontario goes to an online store and orders a laptop for their child who is attending University in Alberta and they have the order shipped to Alberta then the purchase will be subject for the Environmental Handling Fee for Alberta, not Ontario.

Q: Why am I paying this environmental levy/environmental handling fee (EHF)?
This environmental levy/EHF supports various electronic diversion programs in participating provinces in Canada. This levy/EHF applies to all new purchases of designated electronic items. The fees support the various programs to recover and reclaim old electronic items that are currently entering the waste stream. These programs essentially help pay for the safe disposal of old electronic products.

Q: Is this a tax?
No, it is an Environmental Levy or Environmental Handling Fee. The fees collected go directly into the various programs that handle electronic waste and processing.

Q: Who gets the money?
We and all other Retailers are required to remit fees related to designated products to the Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA), Ontario Electronics Stewardship (OES) and the Electronic Products Recycling Association for British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador directly.
