Right now, about 100 million cell phones are simply thrown away each year. If all of these phones were recycled, in addition to keeping them out of landfills like these, the amount of energy conserved from eliminating the need to mine for more of the precious metals found in cellular phones would be the equivalent of that used to power 18,500 homes for a full year.

I mean, there's so much talk about recycling and yet no one's ever thought of trying to reduce the growing amount of pollution caused by this particular type of waiste. As technology spreads and gains more and more importance, E-waiste bins may soon become just as important as already existant paper and plastic bins. Therefore, it is a great initiative to introduce them now, before it's too late. It’s certainly about time something was done to reduce E-Waiste.
