For most individuals and organizations, not a lot of attention is given to the who, what, where, and why of solid waste disposal. Electronic waste, in particular, is often a mystery to many, and is tossed out with little regard for the answers to these sorts of questions.

One things is for sure: e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in developed countries. Learn about what happens to your used electronics, where they might go, and why all of that matters to you.
