If you’re a gadget girl or gadget boy, then this post is for you. E- waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life. These include Computers, laptops, ebooks, cellphones, televisions, VCR's, stereos, copiers, fax machines are common electronic products. These are all non biodegradable and if accumulated that much will contribute to the rampant problem of e waste in this recent times. How do you manage these e waste in your own little way?

flagella08, .. sometime back, i have started a topic on DIGITAL DIRT-Management. it is somehow, surprising that most of the responders to that topic, were clearly aware of the difficulties of disposing the e-waste that they generate. And, if you could find that topic, you will understand that most users have tried to AVOID generating the digital dirt, e-waste at the beginning itself.
for me, I would say, digital-waste is something that you copy, and store.. with an intention to use at a different time, and forget! ...
and, electronic waste, or e-waste, that you mentioned in the topic.. For a third-world country, .. this query does not arise, as, .. the cost involved is too high.

some countries dispose their e waste in other countries and i guess that's what had happened to our place too. some are recycled but not that much. poor place we had now.
