EPA v. Recycletronics - Akron Farm Facility Superfund Site

Case summary

On September, 2026, EPA executed an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (ASAOC) pursuant to CERCLA 122(h) to recover past response costs incurred at the Recycletronics ? Akron Farm Superfund Site (Site). The ASAOC was entered with Dynamic Lifecycle Innovations, Inc. (Dynamic). EPA conducted a Fund-lead time-critical removal action at the Site between March and July 2022 to remove approximately 634 tons of crushed and intact cathode ray tube (CRT) glass that Aaron Rochester and his now-defunct company, Recycletronics, stored at the Site. During the removal action, EPA obtained generator information from 526 of the boxes, many of which were labeled with Dynamic's name. Mr. Rochester was eventually charged and held criminally liable for the illegal storage and transportation of CRT glass under RCRA but is unable to pay for the response action at the Site. EPA incurred approximately $1.32 million in response costs at the Site. Through the ASAOC, EPA will recover $325,440.38in past costs from Dynamic.
