Electronic products contain many hazordous and toxic materials that are harmful to our precious environment. Chemicals such as Cadmium and Lithium which are found in rechargeable batteries, mercury in switches and lamps as well as chromium and antimony could be found in products that test hazordous under the Federal law. Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) could possibly have up to 27 to 30 percent lead, which is in a form that can leach into our water supply if land filled.

Our everyday electronic products can contain parts that are profitable,when refurbished or reused with only a small amount of effort. If we continue to just throw away electronic products, we are throwing away valuable resources and adding to the already polluted state of our environment, not to mention the resources which could be reclaimed for materials to be used in manufaturing needs that would ordinarily have to be mined.

The useful life of a typical computer is around 3 to 5 years and declining fast. With faster speed,more memory and the newest thrills, we seek to have the latest model as everyday citizens not thinking about the reclamation of such items. Millions of computers are set to retire annually by coporate upgrades and just fizzled out non working products needing a refresh. The sad part about that is that 65 to 75 percent of these old fossils are just warehoused, in order to be gotten "out of the way" so the new equipment can be installed without missing a beat in our busy lives, be it at work or home. Some are stored simply because they don't have a plan to dispose of the E-Waste properly or Securely.
