Computer monitors and older TV picture tubes contain an average of four pounds of lead. In addition to the lead, electronics can contain chromium, cadmium, mercury, beryllium, nickel, zinc and other hazardous materials. In the US, we scrap about 400 million units per year of consumer electronics, according to Electronic recycling industry experts. Rapid advances in technology mean that electronic products are becoming obsolete more quickly. This, coupled with explosive sales in consumer electronics, means that more products are being disposed of even if they still work. According to the EPA, Americans generated about 3.2 million tons of electronic waste in 2009. Out of all that e-Waste, only 18 percent of it was Electronic recyclingthe rest wound up in landfills or was shipped to developing nations. The countrys growing mounds of electronic e-waste are cause for concern both from a health and environmental perspectives, so its important for consumers to properly dispose of unwanted electronics and computers. About 40% of all heavy metals, including lead, mercury and cadmium in landfills come from electronic waste that is not handled correctly. And as our world becomes more and more dependent on electronic products to make life more convenient, the stockpile of used and obsolete electronic products continues to grow.
