| MN | 2025-08-15 | Manufacturer registration forms due August 15 or within ten days of video display devices being offered for sale to households. The registration fee for manufacturers that sell 100 or more video display devices to households in the state during the previous calendar year is $2,500, plus a variable recycling fee.

Manufacturers must also report on the total weight of covered electronic devices the manufacturer collected from households or recycled or arranged to have collected and recycled during the preceding program year.
