Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a term for electronic products that have become unwanted, non-working or obsolete, and have reached the end of their useful life. As the technology is upgrading at such a high rate, many electronic devices become “trash” after a few short years of use. In fact, whole categories of old electronic items contribute to e-waste such as Pagers being replaced by Keypad Phones, and Keypad Phones being replaced by Touchscreen phones. E-waste can be created from anything electronics like, Printers, Computers, TVs, Monitors, Cell phones, USB Pen-drives, Photocopy machines, etc.
