Electronic waste are the technology garbage.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines electronic waste as any device powered by electrical energy that has reached the end of its working life. So we're not just talking about mobiles alone but any electronic devices you can think of ranging from
Fridges, freezers and other cooling equipment,Computers and telecommunications equipment,TVs, monitors and screens, LED bulbs
Mobile phones, tablets, laptops: the proliferation of digitals devices is becoming a problem for the planet because once they come to the end of their useful lives — every year almost 50 million tons of technological scrap is generated, due to the massivey production.

How many mobile phones have you had in your life? The answer to this question will give you an idea of the impact that technological rubbish — or e-waste — has on the planet. According to MarketWatch, in 2018, consumers replaced their mobiles every 15 months. Among the most common substances found in these discarded items are cadmium, lead, lead oxide, antimony, nickel and mercury. These toxic elements pollute rivers, lakes and seas, and release gases into the atmosphere that upset ecosystems.

What is Recycling? Is the converting of waste materials into new material or object, making them re-useable and useful again.
It is well recommend that friends, family inherit device that still works or trade as second hand market. But When the item no longer works and there is no chance of it being used by someone close, recycling should be the option. One option for the consumer is to hand the old device in to the shop where the new one is being purchased, or to some company that specialises in electronic refurbishment.

The Benefits of Recycling E-waste
