Momentum builds for ‘revolution’ to recycle electronic waste

It seems electronic waste recycling, or “e-cycling,” is catching on
nationwide. More grass-roots nonprofits are springing up, dedicated to
tackling the waste problem caused by discarded electronics. A growing
consumer awareness of the lasting environmental impact of “e-waste” –
more than 250 million personal computers and 100 million cellphones are
tossed aside each year in the United States – has prompted some states
to pass legislation banning certain toxic materials from landfills, and
a number of domestic manufacturers now offer e-cycling programs to
their customers as an additional selling point.
