Quick Answer
The environmental fee on security cameras covers the cost of handling and recycling electronic waste in compliance with local regulations. It is a separate charge applied per eligible order, shown at checkout, and helps ensure that old or defective cameras are disposed of responsibly.
Why Is There an Environmental Fee on Security Cameras?
Many regions require retailers to collect a fee on certain electronics to fund recycling programs and environmental compliance. For security cameras, this fee helps cover the proper disposal of components like circuit boards, batteries, and plastics that can be harmful if landfilled. Defender Security Cameras applies this fee as a separate line item on qualifying orders, and the amount is disclosed at checkout so you know exactly what you're paying.
How Is the Fee Calculated and Applied?
The environmental fee is not a percentage of the product price. It is a fixed charge per eligible order, determined by local regulations and the type of product purchased. When you add a security camera to your cart, the fee appears as a separate charge, typically a few dollars or less. It is not a hidden cost—Defender lists it clearly so you can review it before completing your purchase.
