Electronic waste – or E-waste is growing rapidly given the faster rate of obsolesce of electronic equipment. E-waste consists of discarded old computers, TVs, cell phones, copiers and FAX machines, radios – basically any electrical or electronic appliance that has reached its end-of-life.

While E-waste contains both valuable materials such as gold, palladium,silver and copper, it also contains harmful substances like lead, cadmium,

and mercury. In the absence of suitable techniques and protective measures, recycling e-waste can result in toxic emissions to the air, water and soil, which poses a serious health and environmental hazard.

E-Waste is considered to be any electronic devices, small appliances or electrical equipment (such as meters & switches). To the left, displays a list of items considered to members of e-waste. This list is NOT a complete list because items are constantly added to the list by DTSC.
