This document summarizes the exclusion from regulation as a solid waste for shredded circuit boards being recycled under 40 CFR 261.4(a)(14). Specifically, shredded circuit boards are not considered a solid waste if they are stored in containers to prevent environmental release and are free of mercury switches, mercury relays, nickel-cadmium batteries, and lithium batteries. The exclusion is intended for circuit boards destined for recycling, not disposal, and state regulations may differ.
