Electronic waste disposalis actually a very straightforward process as there are many established IT recycling companies that currently offer WEEE waste collection and recycling services. Electronic products contain substances which can be extremely toxic to the environment. Harmful elements such as lead, beryllium, polyvinyl chloride and mercury pose a significant threat to the environment, as well as to human health. Alongside toxic components, electronic equipment can also contain tiny fragments of gold, silver and copper that can be extracted, and reused in the manufacture of new electronic products. Batteries can also contain cadmium or nickel that can be recycled and used again.
