    <text>General.</text>
    <paragraph num="(1)">
      <text>This regulation establishes conditions that shall be met in order for the following materials to be excluded from the definition of solid waste when the materials are undergoing recycling:</text>
      <paragraph num="(a)">
        <text>A used, broken cathode ray tube (CRT); and</text>
      </paragraph>
      <paragraph num="(b)">
        <text>Processed CRT glass.</text>
      </paragraph>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(2)">
      <text>Use Constituting Disposal. If a used, broken CRT or glass from a used CRT is going to be recycled by being used in a manner constituting disposal, as described in Regulation .02C(1)(a)(i) and (ii) of this chapter, the used, broken CRT or glass from a used CRT shall be managed in accordance with the requirements of COMAR 26.13.10.01 rather than the requirements of this regulation.</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(3)">
      <text>Speculative Accumulation. A used, broken CRT or glass from a used CRT that is material accumulated speculatively, as defined in Regulation .01D of this chapter, is a solid waste when recycled unless otherwise excluded from the definition of solid waste by Regulation .02 of this chapter.</text>
