Electronic waste (e-waste) is quickly becoming the fastest growing contributor
of municipal waste in the country.
A few quick facts:
95% of monitor components are reusable.
250 million computers were destined to become
obsolete in 2005.
Over 2 million tons of e-waste is put in landfills
each year.
In a new report for the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), analysts estimate that the amount of e-waste in US landfills
will grow fourfold in the next few years.
Discarded computers are hazardous waste - and when
dumped into landfills or improperly recycled, pose a hazard to the environment
and human health.
