Question

What is e-waste?

Answer 1

e-waste would be things like the old 486 pc that I still have in my garage... My two old CD rom drivers which I stopped using when I installed the CD writer etc... The old 14 inch monitor that I dumped in favour of a bigger sleeker 17 inch monitor etc...

Hope this helps...

Answer 3

"Electronic waste, "e-waste" or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a waste type consisting of any broken or unwanted electrical or electronic device. Recyclable electronic waste is sometimes further categorized as a "commodity" while e-waste which cannot be reused is distinguished as "waste". Both types of e-waste have raised concern considering that many components of such equipment are considered toxic and are not biodegradable." E-waste should be disposed of properly so they will not contaminate the enviroment.
