Management of Electronic Waste in the United States: Fact Sheet

 

According to EPA:

 

-          By 2010, there will be 716 million new computers in use

 

-          According to EPA Americans, own nearly 3 billion electronic products.

 

-          In 2005, some estimate that 130,000 computers were discarded in a single day.

 

-          In 2005, used or unwanted electronics amounted to approximately 1.9 to 2.2 million tons. Of that, about 1.5 to 1.9 million tons were primarily discarded in landfills, and only 345,000 to 379,000 tons were recycled.

Newsmaker: High tech: Anything but green

Elizabeth Grossman, environmental journalist and author of “High Tech Trash” in an interview with CNET News.com explains the problematic with E-waste:

“In the United States, we seem to be disposing of about 250 million computers every year, and we only are currently recycling about 10 percent of that. The rest of these things are either being thrown away--the EPA estimates that about 2 million tons of electronics are going to landfills in the United States each year.”

CNET News.com:So what happens if I throw my computer into the trash?
Grossman: “Well, you live in California. So, you cannot throw your computer into the trash without risking some kind of penalty.”

“If I threw a computer into my trash in Oregon, where there isn't any regulation against it, chances are if it got buried deep in and nobody saw it, it would simply get carted off with the rest of the neighborhood garbage. I did ask my local carting company what they do when they see this stuff, and they said they actually pick something out and get it to either a recycler or some reuse organization. But if nobody sees it or it's damaged and there's no regulation against putting electronics into the trash, it's just going to go to the landfill or an incinerator if that's where the municipal garbage goes.”

CNET News.com: As a consumer, how can we be more responsible?
Grossman: “The first thing is, as an individual consumer, I would say just make sure, whether it's something small like a cell phone or something large like an old printer or desktop computer: Do not put it in the trash. Get it to a responsible reuse organization that can get it refurbished and extend its life, or find out what your workplace is doing with its used electronic equipment.”
