Abstract
This report is a document to provide guidance to States and persons who recycle materials or persons who generate materials that are recycled to determine how EPA's Definition of Solid Waste rulemaking applies to them. This regulation deals with the question of which materials are solid and hazardous wastes when they are recycled (i.e., the effect of the rule is to clarify the extent of EPA's jurisdiction over hazardous-waste recycling activities and to set forth the regulatory regime for recycling activities subject to EPA's control. Because the rule is complex, guidance is provided primarily in the form of over 100 examples illustrating the application of the rule to actual recycling practices. The examples will help persons interested in similar cases determine whether a particular recycled material is subject to the RCRA Subtitle C requirements.
