Where does your old computer, cell phone, iPod, or for that matter any electronic product that you have ever used, end up after you have discarded it. Chances are it may be in one of the e-waste dumps in China, India or Africa.
As this slide show points out, despite its health hazard, dismantling and recycling e-waste is big business in some parts of the world.
Is there is anything we as individuals can do to minimize the e-waste? Sure we can. Making sure that we take all the recyclable e-waste to one of the e-stewards would be a start.
