Discarded electronic equipment (computers, monitors, phones, TVs) — regulated under both RCRA (federal) and state e-waste laws.
## What is e-waste? **Electronic waste** covers anything with a circuit board or screen at end of life. Major categories: - **CRT** (cathode-ray-tube) monitors and TVs — contain leaded glass. - **LCD / LED** monitors — contain mercury (older CCFL backlights). - **Laptops, desktops, servers.** - **Mobile phones and tablets.** - **Printers, copiers, networking gear.** ## Regulation - **Federal:** RCRA universal waste rules. - **State:** 25+ states have e-waste-specific laws (CA SB 20, NY ARERA, WA E-Cycle, IL CES, etc.). - **Most states require certified e-waste handlers** (R2 or e-Stewards). ## How WeighPay handles e-waste WeighPay's e-waste workflow tags every load with the regulated material type, prevents commingling with general scrap, prints state-required manifests, and tracks chain-of-custody to the downstream R2/e-Stewards processor.
