E-SCRAP FUN FACTS

• More than 4.2 million tons of electronic waste is buried in U.S. landfills each year.

• The e-waste refuse stream is growing at a rate of 3-5% per year, making it the fastest growing refuse problem in the world.

• The average life expectancy of a new PC is now less than two years.

• Tax laws are written so that computer equipment can be depreciated over a three year period. Therefore, most companies are ineligible to donate equipment for tax write offs, since it may have already been entirely depreciated.

• Most schools and non-profits will no longer take computer equipment as donations, since they would simply be assuming the liability and cost for end-of-life disposal. In most cases, by the time computers are donated to the schools, they are years behind the current generation of technology.

• Electronics are made with valuable materials. In 1998 over 112 million pounds of material were recovered from electronics including Steel, Aluminum, Glass, Plastic and Precious Metals.

• Computers have several elements - Lead, Mercury, Cadmium - that are regulated as hazard waste by U.S EPA and all states. Electronics can be an environmental hazard if they are disposed by landfills or incinerating.
