    I looked up the EPA regulation for someone interested in recycling PC boards.



    Whole used circuit boards meet the definition of spent materials but also meet the definition of scrap metal. Therefore, whole used circuit boards that are recycled are exempt from the hazardous waste regulations.
    This probably explains why there hasn't been a lot of questions about "regulations" from the small guys recycling PC boards, Bohemian.
