To be functioning and relevant in their respective markets, the bulk of businesses today rely on electronics. Our electronic needs are growing in tandem with the demands of the business. Companies are always on the lookout for the newest, fastest, and smartest technologies to help them manage their hectic day-to-day operations. We must be careful of how we dispose of our gadgets when they reach the end of their useful lives, given our society's ever-accelerating rate of technological progress. What do you do when your computer isn't fast enough, your conference room TV isn't big enough, or you need to retire the old printer you used to start your small business? Any electronic item that is no longer useful, functional, or has grown obsolete is referred to as electronic garbage (e-waste). One of the fastest-growing areas of our country's waste stream is electronic waste. It includes all electrical equipment, components, and materials that are defective, unusable, or outdated/obsolete. Items that can be recycled through an electronic recycling program, which includes electronics that will be reused, resold, salvaged, or repurposed, are also classified as e-waste management
