Computers, Televisions, VCRs, Stereos, Copiers, Printers, Fax Machines, Batteries, Wires, Mouse, Key Board are some of the products that can be grouped under e-waste. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished or recycled.
e-waste is one of the fastest accumulating segments of our country's waste stream, because of the proliferation of usage of computers at all levels. Computers are used everywhere and it is part of our everyday life. The accumulation is mainly due to lack of awareness of e-waste as a potential pollutant and also people don't want to give something free. For most of us it is better to remain unused at our places than giving it to someone for nearly free of cost.
However e-waste is not being properly framed till now. There is still some confusion exists whether 'microwave oven' and other consumer appliances can be grouped under e-waste.
