Answer:

  • E-waste is any electrical or electronic equipment that’s been discarded. This includes working and broken items that are thrown in the garbage or donated to a charity reseller like Goodwill. Often, if the item goes unsold in the store, it will be thrown away. E-waste is particularly dangerous due to toxic chemicals that naturally leach from the metals inside when buried.

  • The ongoing challenge of how best to dispose of used and unwanted electronics isn’t a new one and dates back at least to the 1970s. But a lot has changed since then, particularly the number of electronics being discarded today.

Examples:

  1. Home Appliances
  2. Communications and Information Technology Devices
  3. Home Entertainment Devices
  4. Electronic Utilities
  5. Office and Medical Equipment
  6. ...etc...

Note:

  • While above ground, modern electronics are safe to use and be around.
  • They're only toxic due to chemical elements such as beryllium, cadmium, mercury, and lead.
  • These results in serious environmental risks to our soil, water, air, and wildlife

⇒ This is also done by "Leeching Poisons Nearby Water".

So, please avoid e-waste as e-waste is likely to keep expanding.
