We live in an electronic world. At work, home, and everywhere we go electronics (computers, monitors, televisions) are involved in almost everything we do. Household electronics, commonly called Electronic Waste 

(E-Waste), is a fast growing segment of our waste – and many of these items can be a health hazard and can affect the environment if not disposed of properly.

Older electronics, especially televisions and computers can contain heavy metals like lead, mercury, nickel, and chromium. If improperly disposed of, these hazardous materials can be released into the environment, posing a threat to human health.
