Title: RCRA REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRONIC MATERIALS THAT ARE REUSED OR RESOLD
Document Date: 2003-04-01
Description: A business sending electronics to a reseller for reuse is not a RCRA generator. Electronics reused in the same manner without reclamation are still considered commercial products. Repairing electronics before resale is neither reclamation nor waste management. Electronics sent for other types of recycling may be spent materials and thus solid wastes when reclaimed. Electronics users and recyclers should check with their implementing agency to see what RCRA requirements apply. EPA encourages states to take approaches consistent with its cathode ray tube (CRT) proposal to exclude CRTs from the definition of solid waste when recycled under certain conditions (SEE ALSO: 67 FR 40508; 6/12/02).
