“Now it seems electronic waste recycling, or ‘e-cycling,’ is catching on nationwide. More grass-roots nonprofits are springing up, dedicated to tackling the waste problem caused by discarded electronics. A growing consumer awareness of the lasting environmental impact of ‘e-waste’ - more than 250 million personal computers and 100 million cellphones are tossed aside each year in the United States - has prompted some states to pass legislation banning certain toxic materials from landfills. And a number of domestic manufacturers now offer e-cycling programs to their customers as an additional selling point.” (07/31/06)
