(1) CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING WHETHER MATERIAL IS NOT RECYCLABLE. To determine whether a component or material from an eligible electronic device is not recyclable, and thus may be disposed of through land disposal, destruction by incineration, or other processes, while remaining eligible to count toward a registered manufacturer's weight of eligible electronic devices recycled under s. 287.17(5) (b), Stats., the department shall consider all of the following:

(a) Current end markets for the material documented by a registered recycler.

(b) The efforts a registered recycler has documented to separate recyclable from non-recyclable components or materials.

(c) What percentage, by weight, of a device the component or material represents.

(d) Whether the material is hazardous waste.

(e) Other factors a registered recycler or the department considers relevant to the determination.

(2) ELIGIBILITY OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES RECOVERED FROM ILLEGAL DUMPING OR DISPOSAL TO COUNT TOWARD MANUFACTURER WEIGHT RECYCLED. If a registered collector receives an eligible electronic device recovered from waste loads or illegal dumping that can reasonably be assumed to have come from a household or covered school in this state, the eligible electronic device may be sent to a registered recycler for recycling on behalf of a registered manufacturer.
