E-Waste Recycling
Electronics waste or e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world today with over 2 million tons ending up in landfills.
It is estimated that e-waste comprises about 2% of the municipal solid waste stream but sadly enough, that 2% also represents around 70%
of the overall toxic waste that you currently find in landfills today. When placed in a landfill, even small quantities of the toxic
substances contained in e-waste such as cadmium, lead, and mercury can contaminate the soil and drinking water.
E-Waste definition: The EPA defines e-waste as products such as computers, monitors, cell phones, TV's, and telecom equipment, or other
discarded equipment using electricity that are obsolete, irreparable, or broken.
The EPA estimates that in 2006 alone, over 1.9 million tons of electronics became obsolete. Of that amount, approximately 1.5 million
tons were discarded primarily in landfills. It is anticipated that this volume will grow as businesses and consumers continue to replace
old and outdated electronic equipment and purge equipment kept in storages.
