Explanation:

When e-waste is tossed into landfills, these chemicals leach into the soil, polluting the ground water as well as the air. Electronics are made of components that contain valuable raw materials. ... Reusing old devices prevents e-waste by keeping it out of landfills.

E-waste or electronic waste is created when an electronic product is discarded after the end of its useful life. The rapid expansion of technology and the consumption driven society results in the creation of a very large amount of e-waste in every minute.[2]

The European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive Directive classifies waste in ten categories: Large household appliances (including cooling and freezing appliances), Small household appliances, IT equipment (including monitors), Consumer electronics (including TVs), Lamps and , Toys, Tools, Medical devices, Monitoring and control instruments and Automatic dispensers. These include used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal as well as re-usable soft (working and repairable electronics) and secondary raw materials (copper, steel, plastic, etc.). The term "waste" is reserved for residue or material which is dumped by the buyer rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations, because loads of surplus electronics are frequently commingled (good, recyclable, and non-recyclable). Several public policy advocates apply the term "e-waste" and "e-scrap" broadly to all surplus electronics. Cathode ray tubes are considered one of the hardest types to recycle.[3]

On the other hand, the Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development defines e-waste into six categories, namely : (1) BIG PP equipment (e.g., air conditioners, freezers), (2) Screens, monitors (e.g., TV, laptop), (3) Lamps(e.g., LED lamps), (4) Large equipment (e.g., washing machines, electric stoves), (5) Small equipment (e.g., microwave, electric shaver), and (6) Small IT and telecommunication equipment (e.g., mobile phones, printers). Products in each category vary in longevity profile, impact, and collection methods, among other differences.[4]

have a relatively high concentration of lead and phosphors (not to be confused with phosphorus), both of which are necessary for the display. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) includes discarded CRT monitors in its category of "hazardous household waste"[5] but considers that have been set aside for testing to be commodities if they are not discarded, speculatively accumulated, or left unprotected from weather and other damage. These CRT devices are often confused between the DLP Rear Projection TV, both of which have a different recycling process due to the materials of which they are components
