RE: Getting out of hand

[ragnarok]

The EPA reports that two million tons of electronic garbage ends up inAmerican landfills every year, about six times as much as what getsrecycled. Luckily, the movement to recycle old computers and techtrash is increasing, and many retail stores offer recyclingopportunities for old, outdated, or broken models. Every piece of e-waste that gets recycled is one less piece of waste that ends up in our landfills. Unfortunately, although many consumers believe thatthey’re doing the right thing and helping the environment by droppingoff their old devices for repurposing, the truth is that what happens to the devices afterwords is often far from environmentally friendly.
