Spent material: materials that have been used and can no longer serve the purpose for which they were produced without processing.
Unconditional exclusion from the definition of solid waste for used, intact CRTs sent for recycling and glass processing
Allows for speculative accumulation
Conditional Exclusion from the Definition of Solid Waste:
Used, broken CRTs undergoing recycling or glass processing.
Storage, packaging, labeling requirements
No speculative accumulation
Glass processing cannot be performed at temperatures high enough to volatize lead
Processed CRT glass from used CRTs sent for recycling to glass manufacturers and lead smelters.
Cannot be applied to the land
No speculative accumulation
Sent for other types of recycling
Packaging, labeling requirements
No speculative accumulation
Glass processing: receiving CRTs (broken or intact), intentionally breaking, sorting, or otherwise managing glass removed from monitors, and cleaning coatings. – must perform all activities.
Other types of recycling: copper smelters, into objects such as radiation shielding, acoustical barriers, optical glass beads, decorative glass and tile.
Varies by make, model, and year. 
Final report and analysis due out in June 2003.
EPA is taking this into advisement.
Goal: to develop an economically and environmentally sustainable collection, reuse, and recycling system for electronics
-sharing responsibility among business (electronics manufacturers and retailers), government, and consumers.
Varies based on make, model, and year.
Results presented at the Solid Waste Association of North America Waste Conference 12/6/02. 
Please direct questions to Dr. Tim Townsend at [email protected].
Modified large scale: scale-up the size of the TCLP (e.g., flourescent lamps), a 55 gallon drum rotator was used, rotation speed was 14 rpm as opposed to 30+/-2 rpm, devices are dismantled and placed in the rotator as opposed to size-reduced.
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act: addresses the remediation of sites that have been contaminated by hazardous substances.
Responsible parties in a clean-up pay according to ability.
