WHAT IS ELECTRONIC WASTE?

Electronic waste can be broadly described as discarded, surplus, obsolete, broken, electrical or electronic devices.

It could be a computer and its accessories like monitors, printers, keyboards, central processing units; typewriters, mobile phones and chargers, remotes, compact discs, headphones, batteries, LCD/Plasma TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators and other household appliances.

Printed circuit boards contain rare and precious metals such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum – together referred to as the Platinum Group Metals.
