What is E-waste?
'E-waste' means waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE).
How harmful is e-waste?
E-wastes are considered dangerous, as certain components of
some electronic products contain materials that are hazardous,
depending on their condition and density. If improperly disposed,
they can leach lead and other harmful substances into soil and
groundwater.
