California CEW Compliance

CEW Log Software for California E-Waste Collectors

Your Covered Electronic Waste log, maintained automatically from your receiving workflow. Every intake creates a CEW entry with item type, weight, and source — audit-ready, always current, no manual log updates.

CEW logs

What is a CEW log — and who is required to maintain one?

A Covered Electronic Waste (CEW) log is a required record maintained by approved e-waste collectors and recyclers in California under the CEW program. The log documents every covered electronic device received — CRT monitors, CRT televisions, flat-panel displays and covered battery-embedded products — with the item type, weight, source, and date of receipt. DTSC and CalRecycle can request access to this log during audits or compliance reviews, and discrepancies between the log and CalRecycle CEW claim data are a common source of compliance findings.

In practice, most California e-waste collectors maintain their CEW log in a spreadsheet that's updated manually after each pallet is received. This creates a lag between the physical intake and the log entry, introduces transcription errors, and produces a log that isn't always synchronized with actual receiving records. When an auditor requests the log, reconciling it against receiving paperwork becomes a time-consuming compliance exercise — often surfacing discrepancies that require explanation.

Tayr maintains your CEW log automatically. When your team logs a pallet at intake — entering the weight, tagging the item type, and recording the source — Tayr creates a CEW log entry in real time. The log is always current, always synchronized with your receiving records, and always formatted for audit presentation. At any point you can filter by date range, export for DTSC or CalRecycle review, or pull a bulk export for a specific reporting period.

Platform Features

Everything California e-waste collectors need, in one platform.

01

DTSC & CEW Compliance

Maintain your Covered Electronic Waste log automatically from receiving data. Every pallet logged at intake creates a CEW entry with item type, weight, source, and date — audit-ready and always current.

  • CEW log with per-entry source type
  • DTSC report by item type and weight
  • Audit-ready log view
  • Bulk export per reporting period
02

SB-20 Report Generation

Generate CalRecycle CEW claim data with CRT, non-CRT and CBEP unit counts, net weights, and pallet totals from the same data that feeds your CEW log. One receiving workflow drives both compliance outputs.

  • CRT vs. flatscreen automatic split
  • Unit counts and net weight totals
  • Filter by vendor and date range
  • Export-ready for CalRecycle submission
03

Pallet Receiving

Log every inbound load with gross, tare, and net weights per pallet. Tag material as CRT, flatscreen, general e-waste, or non-SB-20. Every intake record becomes a CEW log entry automatically.

  • Gross / tare / net per pallet
  • SB-20 item type tagging at intake
  • Photo documentation per pallet
  • Convert to PO or invoice in one click
04

Invoicing & Purchase Orders

Create outbound invoices for your clients and purchase orders for generators — both connected to the same client records and receiving data that drives your CEW log.

  • Client invoicing with PDF export
  • Purchase orders for material vendors
  • Partial delivery tracking
  • Google Sheets export for vendor records
05

Logistics & Pickup Scheduling

Schedule e-waste pickups from corporate campuses, government facilities, and drop-off sites. Every pickup that results in a pallet intake automatically feeds the CEW log at the point of receiving.

  • Daily and weekly scheduling views
  • Assign pickups to drivers
  • Real-time status from the field
  • Public e-waste pickup request portal
06

Client CRM

Manage your commercial generator relationships with full profiles and transaction history. Generator attribution in the CEW log connects back to the client record for complete traceability.

  • Contact profiles with activity history
  • Invoices and POs per client
  • Tasks and follow-up tracking
  • Lead pipeline for new generator accounts
