Welcome

Electronic waste comes in many forms; computers, TVs, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), cell phones, telephones, and radios are just a few examples. Given the evolving nature of electronics and their short lifespan, this waste stream has grown tremendously over the past few years and this trend is expected to continue for some time. Recycling e-waste is one way to reduce the amount going to landfill and to recover valuable materials and metals that may still be viable at the end of the electronics’ life.

The use of electronic devices for both business and personal applications has increased dramatically in recent years. Rapid turnover of these electronic devices is estimated to generate over 2 million tons of electronic waste (E-waste) per year, which raises environmental concerns due to both the E-waste volume and the quantity of hazardous chemicals associated with this waste stream. Approximately 70 percent of the heavy metals in municipal solid waste landfills are estimated to come from electronics discards. Heavy metals such as lead and mercury are highly toxic substances that can cause welldocumented adverse health effects, particularly to children and developing fetuses.
