Electronic wastes or e-wastes are items such as TVs (flat screen led, lcd, plasma, and cathode-ray tubes), CPUs, peripherals (e.g., monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, hard disk, graphics tablet, scanner, webcams, joystick or paddle), CD players, mobile or cell phones, microwave ovens, radios, VCRS and DVD players, laptops, copiers, fax machines, battery backups, surge protectors, electronic typewriters, digital cameras, chargers, corded and cordless phones, electronic toys, video games, adding machines, and boom boxes.
E-wastes contain common elements such as copper, cobalt, gold, iron, and other toxic ones such as lead, beryllium, arsenic, mercury, antimony, and cadmium. As more and more electronic products are being retired and disposed off and new ones are purchased, the SWMD bears another challenge to accept and collect e-wastes for shipment to off-island certified end-processors. This keeps them out of the landfill and our ground water, and recovers components for reuse and recycling.
