E-waste consists of computers, monitors, printers, TVs, and other household electronics. The vast majority of consumer electronics contain hazardous materials that when disposed or incinerated can contaminate our air and soil.

Computers contain many hazerdous toxins and chemicals that are dangerous for the envoirnment if left in landfills. Recycled computers can be upgraded with the newest programs for a small price and reused
