CURRENT LAWS
The following information is an excerpt from the Summary of Missouri Hazardous Waste Regulations for Collection, Reuse, and Recycling of Electronics:
Hazardous electronics intended for disposal are subject to state and federal hazardous waste regulations.
Hazardous electronics intended for legitimate use/reuse may be exempt according to 40 CFR 261.2(e). If legitimately used or reused, the materials are not considered solid or hazardous waste until the decision to dispose is made. Missouri uses the criteria in the Federal Register Vol. 50, No. 3, January 4, 1985, p. 638 to evaluate use/reuse claims for legitimacy.
