Regulations Governing Management of Used Electronics

Some electronics (such as color CRTs computer monitors, color CRT TV tubes, and smaller items such as cell phones and other “hand-helds”) test “hazardous” under Federal law. If so, they are subject to special handling requirements under Federal law, subject to certain exemptions.

EPA encourages reuse and recycling of used electronics, including those that test “hazardous.” To facilitate more reuse and recycling of these products, EPA has less stringent management requirements for products bound for reuse and recycling.
