What is the recycling/ environmental fee?

Virgin Plus supports provincial recycling programs by remitting Environmental Handling Fees (EHF) for designated electronic products, such as tablets, headsets, TVs, computers and other applicable electronics (outlined by province below). These fees are administered by provincially approved recycling programs and are used for responsible recycling of end-of-life electronics.
